the university
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is incorporated as a privately
endowed, nonsectarian institution of higher learning under the General
Laws of Massachusetts. The State Legislature, by special enactment,
has given the University general degree-granting powers. The Univer-
sity is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by and from the North-
eastern University Corporation, which is composed of more than 150
distinguished business and professional men and women.
From its beginning Northeastern University has had as its dominant
purpose the discovery of community educational needs and the meet-
ing of these in distinctive and serviceable ways. The University has
not duplicated the programs of other institutions, but has sought to
pioneer new areas of educational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University is its Cooperative Plan,
initiated by the College of Engineering in 1909 and subsequently
adopted by the Colleges of Business Administration (1922), Liberal Arts
(1935), Education (1953), Pharmacy (1962), Nursing (1964), Boston-
Bouve College (1964), the College of Criminal Justice (1967), and by
Lincoln College's Engineering Technology Programs (1971). As an edu-
cational method the Cooperative Plan enables students to gain valu-
able practical experience as an integral part of their college programs,
and also provides the means by which they may contribute substan-
tially to the financing of their education. The Plan has been extended
to the graduate level in engineering, mathematics, actuarial science,
rehabilitation administration, professional accounting, business admin-
istration, and law.
In the field of adult education, programs of study have been developed
to meet a variety of needs. Since 1906 evening curricula have been of-
fered leading to the bachelor's degree. Programs in the arts and sci-
ences, engineering, various fields of business, law enforcement and
security, and other areas have been carefully planned to serve mature
students who are employed full-time during the day and want to
broaden their educational background by part-time study. All formal
courses of study leading to degrees through evening programs are
approved by the Basic College faculties concerned and are subject to
the same quantitative and qualitative standards as the regular day cur-
ricula.
THE UNIVERSITY / 19
UNDERGRADUATE COLLEGES
Boston-Bouve College
Boston-Bouve College offers four major programs of study: physical
education, recreation education, and health education, all leading to
the degree of Bachelor of Science in Education; and physical therapy,
leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy.
The combined programs of liberal arts, science, and professional prep-
aration include field experience and student teaching, and leadership
training in camping and outdoor education at the Warren Center for
Physical Education and Recreation in Ashland. In accordance with
Northeastern's Cooperative Plan of Education, students are offered
varied opportunities for alternate terms of work-study experience dur-
ing upperclass years.
The College of Business Administration
The College of Business Administration offers programs of study in the
principal fields of business leading to the degree of Bachelor of Sci-
ence in Business Administration. These programs are offered on the
five-year Cooperative Plan, under which students gain substantial
practical experience in the fields for which they are preparing as an
integral part of their undergraduate course of study.
The College also sponsors a Management Institute which offers vari-
ous special courses for business and industrial executives. One phase
of the Institute's work is carried on by the Center for Management De-
velopment, which annually conducts an intensive program designed to
provide professional growth for middle-management executives who
will ultimately be called upon to carry broader executive responsibil-
ities. The plan of instruction, based on a modification of the North-
eastern Cooperative Program, permits the participants to maintain
their job responsibilities during the six-month period of the course.
The Management Development Program is conducted at Andover,
Massachusetts, on the campus of Andover Academy.
College of Criminal Justice
The College of Criminal Justice offers full-time day curricula on the
Cooperative Plan leading to the degree of Bachelor of Science.
The College of Education
The College of Education offers programs leading to the degree of
Bachelor of Science in Education. These are particularly designed to
meet the needs of high school graduates who desire to prepare them-
20 / THE UNIVERSITY
selves for teaching or administrative positions in elementary and sec-
ondary schools. Curricula are offered on the five-year Cooperative
Plan, which provides for employment in libraries, social service agen-
cies, and school systems.
College of Engineering
The College of Engineering offers five-year cooperative curricula in
civil, mechanical, electrical, chemical, and industrial engineering lead-
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Science with specification according
to the engineering department in which the student qualifies. The Col-
lege also offers a general engineering program, awarding an unspeci-
fied Bachelor of Science degree, in which the student has the oppor-
tunity to design his own program with his career objectives in mind.
A six-year program in power systems engineering in collaboration with
public utilities leads to both the bachelor's and master's degree in
electrical engineering. During evening hours part-time programs lead-
ing to the Bachelor of Science degrees in Electrical Engineering and
Civil Engineering are conducted. These programs extend over eight
years, cover the identical courses given in the day cooperative cur-
riculum, and meet the same qualitative and quantitative standards of
scholarship.
College of Liberal Arts
The College of Liberal Arts offers majors in the arts and sciences lead-
ing to the degree of Bachelor of Arts. With the exception of preprofes-
sional programs, curricula are normally five years in length and oper-
ate on the Cooperative Plan.
Lincoln College
Lincoln College offers engineering technology programs leading to the
Associate in Engineering, the Associate in Science, and the Bachelor
of Engineering Technology degrees. These programs are made avail-
able as:
(a) A full-time day curricula on the Cooperative Plan leading to
the degree of Bachelor of Engineering Technology (B.E.T.) in
Mechanical or Electrical Engineering.

the role and scope
of lincoln college
Purpose
Lincoln College is charged with the responsibility for developing and
offering college-level courses and curricula of an applied-science or
technological nature. Its purpose is to assist professional personnel,
qualified to deal with the applications and uses of the biological, nat-
ural, and physical sciences, in better meeting community needs. The
programs of study conducted by the College have in common the
following purposes and characteristics:
1. The programs of instruction prepare the graduate for activities
allied to the fields of engineering, science, or medicine, but are
more specialized than those required to prepare a person for
full professional responsibilities.
2. The programs of instruction are more concise and more com-
pletely technological in content than professional curricula,
though they are concerned with the same general fields of scien-
tific, engineering, industrial, or clinical specialization.
3. The programs of instruction are based upon principles of sci-
ence, and include post-secondary-school mathematics to pro-
vide the tools to achieve the technological objectives of the
curricula.
4. Emphasis is placed upon the use of rational processes in con-
verting theories and ideas into practical techniques, procedures,
and products.
5. Extensive training for artisanship or craftsmanship is not in-
cluded within the scope of the technological education pro-
grams.
6. Graduates from the associate degree programs have opportuni-
ties for educational work leading to the Bachelor of Engineering
Technology and Bachelor of Science degrees.

34 / THE ROLE AND SCOPE OF LINCOLN COLLEGE
Technology and the Technologist
Scientific and technological skills range over a broad spectrum, from
extremely simple craftsmanlike activity to highly complex and abstract
activity. At one end of the spectrum is the professional whose work
is mostly theoretical in character. He studies, reasons, and visualizes
how new knowledge may be used in the development of solutions to
technical problems. Usually he is not completely knowledgeable of the
detailed procedures used by the skilled craftsman who executes the
ideas, procedures, and designs.
The technologist is the pivot-man on the professional-technologist-
craftsman team. He works with the professional engineer, scientist,
doctor, supervisor, and craftsman in converting knowledge of scientific
theories and practical craftsmanship into products, procedures, and
techniques. His responsibilities are technologically important — profes-
sional opportunities are limited only by ambition, ability, and education.
When employed in research, design, or development, the technologist
usually acts as direct supporting personnel to the professionals. If he
functions in a capacity related to production, operation, testing, or
control, he usually follows a course prescribed by a professional but
may not work closely under his direction. If installation, maintenance,
or sales are his areas of responsibility, he is frequently performing a
task that would otherwise have to be performed by the professional.
He thereby assumes the more routine professional functions demanded
by our increasingly scientific and technical society.
In executing his functions, the technologist is required to use a high
degree of rational thinking, to employ post-secondary school mathe-
matics and the principles of the biological, natural, and physical sci-
ences. The skilled technologist works with his mind as well as his
hands. He considers why, as well as how things work. To perform his
functions efficiently, the technologist must effectively communicate
technical and scientific information mathematically, graphically, and
linguistically.
The Need for Technologists
Our present technological age, with its exploding accumulation of new
information and discoveries in the physical, natural, and life sciences,
has increased the need for people with specialized training in science
and technology. Experts have recently estimated that in order to meet
expanding needs, the number of students graduating from the nation's
professional schools must double — a goal which is improbable in the
near future. ,
THE ROLE AND SCOPE OF LINCOLN COLLEGE / 35
The most reasonable alternative is to make our professional manpower
most efficient by providing assistance in the form of specially trained
technologists. Manpower experts believe that the present ratio of less
than one technologist to each professional should ideally be nearer
five to one.
Opportunities for technologists are increasing at a faster rate than for
any other occupational group — a 50 percent increase is expected in
the next five years. More than 200,000 technologists will be needed
each year; schools now graduate only 50,000 per year. The technolo-
gist's employment opportunities are varied and much demanded in
health and public service organizations; atomic energy and electric
power industries; metal fabricating industries; local, state, and federal
government agencies; the armed forces; aerospace industries; chemi-
cal, petroleum, plastics, and metal industries; as well as transportation
and communication industries.
PROGRAMS OF INSTRUCTION
Recognizing the growing need for technicians and technologists and
their expanding role in modern society, Lincoln College offers Pre-
Technology Preparatory Courses and degree programs leading to the

Part-time Electrical, Civil, and Mechanical Engineering Programs
(B.S. degree)
These programs are designed for fully qualified young men and women
who:
1. because of family responsibilities must continue to be gainfully
employed full time during the day, but who wish to advance by
devoting leisure time to their own professional development;
2. were in the top half of their high school class, but at graduation
were financially unable to continue their education at the col-
lege level; those who did not enjoy top-half standing may re-
quire refresher study;
3. realize that the most effective way to achieve their full potential
in these days of specialization is to earn a college degree.
All of the courses in these part-time curricula are identical with those
THE ROLE AND SCOPE OF LINCOLN COLLEGE / 37

cluded: English (4 years), Physics or Chemistry, Algebra (through
quadratics), Plane Geometry, and Trigonometry.
Admission testing requirements may be met in one of three ways:
1. by submitting the results of the College Board Scholastic Apti-
tude Test previously completed;
2. by writing the College Board Scholastic Aptitude Test during the
current year; the Committee on Admissions provides full infor-
mation about the Scholastic Aptitude Tests;
3. by completing a special battery of tests in the Northeastern Uni-
versity Counseling and Testing Center, Room 302, Ell Student
Center.
If a transfer student is applying for advanced standing he need not
complete testing.
In evaluating the credentials of applicants, the Committee on Admis-
sions takes into account additional study which may have been com-
pleted since secondary school and, where relevant, armed forces ex-
perience.
Applying for Admission
Applications for freshman admission and admission with advanced
standing may be obtained by writing to the Department of Admissions,
150 Richards Hall, Northeastern University; or they may be secured
during an admissions interview.
A personal interview is not required, but all candidates are welcome to
make an appointment with an admissions counselor. Interviews may
be scheduled from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m., Monday through Friday, and
on Saturday from 9:00 to 11:30 a.m.

ADMISSION
The Student Body
The student body of Lincoln College is composed of recent high
school graduates and mature men and women. Most students are em-
ployed in industry, with vocational experience ranging from very little
for the recent secondary school graduate, to as much as twenty or
thirty years for individuals seeking increased professional responsibil-
ity and status. Many technical career categories are represented —
industrial, engineering, scientific, and allied-medical — demonstrating
that, in our increasingly complex society, the key to personal advance-
ment is education.
Academic Background
A firm knowledge of the fundamentals of mathematics and science is
the foundation upon which successful achievements in the more ad-
vanced technological courses are built.
Applicants to Lincoln College are, in many cases, mature adults who,
although they have experience in industry or previous education, have
been away from formal study for some time and, therefore, have
doubts concerning their study habits and their algebra, geometry, and
science proficiency. Those who anticipate some difficulty in adjusting
to the first-year course requirements are advised to give very serious
consideration to enrolling in non-credit courses in introductory mathe-
matics, introductory physics, and/or introductory chemistry. These
courses are designed to develop adequate background for the basic
courses in the degree programs.
i Program Counseling
Career planning through self-analysis and professional counseling as-
sists students in planning educational programs appropriate to their
objectives. Entering students are encouraged to arrange for personal
interviews with Lincoln College program counselors for assistance in
.planning their academic programs. Counselors are available by ap-
pointment at the Huntington Avenue Campus, Boston; the Suburban
Campus, Burlington; the North High School, Framingham; the Wey-
41
42 / ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
mouth North High School, Weymouth; the Norwood Junior High School
North, Norwood; Norwood Airport, Norwood; and the Lynn English
High School, Lynn. Students are encouraged to present records of
prior education whenever possible. The effectiveness of the counseling
review is greatly enhanced by this information. The University, through
its Counseling and Testing Center and its Career Information Center,
is also prepared to assist applicants whose educational and voca-
tional goals are more complex or less firmly defined.
Application for Admission
Applications for the programs of study offered in the Lincoln College
are accepted for admission to the Fall (September), Winter (January),
Spring (March), and Summer (June) Quarters. Applications should be
filed as early as possible in advance of the opening of the quarter for
which the student desires to register in order that eligibility and status
may be established.
Information concerning admission may be obtained either by writing to
Lincoln College or by requesting it at the time of visiting the College.
The application for admission should be completed in detail and sub-
mitted to Lincoln College, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachu-
setts 02115.
All inquiries relative to the Day Cooperative programs should be re-
ferred to the Day College Admissions Office, 150 Richards Hall. (See
pages 87-88 and 94-95.)
Mathematics Placement Test
Applicants requesting admission to regular first-year mathematics are
required to demonstrate proficiency in introductory or basic mathe-
matics through the Lincoln College Mathematics Placement Test. Stu-
dents who request enrollment in the non-credit Introductory Mathe-
matics course are not required to take the test. The Mathematics
Placement Test will be administered during the registration period for
each term of instruction at the Huntington Avenue Campus, Boston,
and the Suburban Campus, Burlington. The Mathematics Placement
Test will be administered on selected dates at the North High School,
Framingham; the Weymouth High School, Weymouth; the Lynn English
High School, Lynn; and the Norwood Junior High School North, Nor-
wood. In addition, the test is administered during the summer months.
Contact the Lincoln College Office, 219 Hayden Hall, at the Boston
Campus (437-2500).
Students who demonstrate satisfactory proficiency in the test will be
permitted to register for the first-year courses in the program of their
ADMISSIONS INFORMATION / 43
choice. To enroll in Engineering Physics (11.317) the student may need
to take Introductory Physics.
If need for a strengthening of mathematical background is indicated,
the applicant will be assigned to the Introductory Mathematics course.
Students enrolling in Introductory Mathematics may fill out their sched-
ule by enrolling in Introductory Physics, Introductory Chemistry, or
Engineering Graphics.
In every case the student should carefully consider his combined work
and study load and register for only those courses which contribute to
the development of a firm knowledge of fundamentals and which en-
able him to adjust to academic study requirements.
CLASSIFICATION OF STUDENTS
Applicants who have filed an Application for Admission and who are
approved by the Lincoln College Academic Standing Committee are
admitted as regular degree candidate students in the program which
they have indicated on the application.
Special Students
Students having specific course needs, who do not desire a degree,
may register for the courses if they have the required prerequisites or
their equivalent. These students will be enrolled as "special students."
Matriculation
Degree candidates must file a petition for matriculation when they have
completed a minimum of forty quarter-hours of work in Lincoln Col-
lege, for a review of their academic record and to insure that:
1. The student is entered in the permanent record as a degree can-
didate in the program of his choice;
2. Advanced standing credit for transfer students is entered in their
permanent record.
This review will assure that the student has:
1. Attained a satisfactory quality point average;
2. Presented evidence of completion of an accredited secondary
school program by submission of a transcript of record or a
high school equivalency certificate;
44 / ADMISSIONS INFORMATION
3. Demonstrated acceptable levels of ability and achievement in 15
units* of secondary school and/or collegiate work as follows:
Verbal Communication 4 units
Mathematics and Computation 3 units
Science and Technology 3 units
Other 5 units
4. The Academic Standing Committee may require a student to
take one or more aptitude or interest tests if his credentials or
academic record fail to completely satisfy the criteria for prob-
able academic success. These tests will be administered by the
University Counseling and Testing Center. A fee is charged for
these tests.
TRANSFER STUDENTS AND ADVANCED STANDING CREDITS
Students transferring from community colleges, junior colleges, tech-
nical institutes, or other colleges and universities may transfer appli-
cable credits toward the degree requirements of Lincoln College.
Students admitted with transfer or advanced standing credits from an-
other institution must meet the requirements for admission as set forth
under the regulations applicable to regular students. Advanced stand-
ing in Lincoln College may be obtained by (1) transfer of credits or
(2) proficiency examination.
Transfer of Credits
Subject to the approval of the Academic Standing Committee, credits
may be awarded for academic work completed in other approved
schools, colleges, or universities if the following criteria are met: (a)
the content of the course being submitted is equivalent to that of the
corresponding course in Lincoln College; (b) the average grade
achieved in the course submitted is "C" or higher; and (c) the remote-
ness of the time of study does not negate its use as a prerequisite for
an advanced course.
Applicants desiring advanced standing credit by transfer should indi-
cate this desire at the time of filing the application for admission. The
applicant should request the Registrar of the institutions of previous
attendance to mail an official transcript to the Lincoln College Office.
Proficiency Examinations
Applicants who do not meet all the criteria for the normal transfer of
*A unit represents a year's work in a subject at an approved secondary school, community
college, junior college, technical institute, or university.
ADMISSIONS INFORMATION / 45
credits, but who are able to supply evidence of sufficient knowledge of
a subject as a result of previous training or experience, may petition
the Academic Standing Committee for the privilege of taking a Pro-
ficiency Examination. If satisfactory proficiency is indicated by the ex-
amination, advanced standing credits may be awarded or a substitute
course may be recommended.
Readmission
Former students who seek readmission to continue a program of study
after having withdrawn from the College for a period of time, may be
required to repeat courses which are prerequisites to advanced work.
REGISTRATION
Registration for Courses
Completion of admission requirements does not constitute official reg-
istration for courses. All students must be properly registered before
attending classes. Registrations are processed by the Registrar's Of-
fice during the official registration periods. Former students should
ascertain completion of prerequisite courses before registration. Stu-
dents may register for full-year sequences of courses during the offi-
cial registration periods. They are urged to register as early as pos-
sible in order to obtain the desired class schedule.
Changes in Registration
Changes in program should be initiated before the opening day of
classes during the official registration periods.
Official Registration Periods
Official registration periods are scheduled before the Fall, Winter,
Spring, and Summer Quarters during the academic year. Students are
urged to register as early as possible during these periods. Dates of
registration periods for each quarter are listed in the official 1975-1977
Academic Calendar (see pages 6 and 7).
Withdrawal
Simply ceasing to attend classes or notifying the instructor does not
constitute official withdrawal from a course. To withdraw officially
from a course, the student must notify the Registrar's Office in writing
or complete the appropriate withdrawal form. Properly registered stu-
dents who do not attend one of the first three sessions in any course
will be automatically withdrawn from the class roll.
Courses in Other Departments of the University
Lincoln College students assigned to courses in other departments of
the University are charged the tuition rates and other fees effective in
the departments in which they are enrolled.

Course Work
All the usual methods of instruction are employed — lectures, home
assignments, class projects, laboratory work, irregularly scheduled
quizzes, and formal examinations. In addition, mid-course examina-
tions are scheduled in most courses and a final examination is re-
quired at the completion of all courses. Students are responsible for
fulfilling all the requirements of a course. In the event of absence, stu-
dents must make appropriate arrangements for makeup with the in-
structor. Students must follow the procedures outlined below for
makeup of missed mid-term or final examinations.
Student Study Areas
The UNIVERSITY LIBRARY is well equipped with technical literature.
A detailed statement about its facilities and hours appears on pages
27-29.
The privilege of obtaining books from the Boston Public Library is ex-
tended to students of Lincoln College. Application for this privilege,
which involves a fee, should be made directly to the Boston Public
Library.
Additional study areas are available in the Ell Student Center Building.
Attendance
Students absent from regularly scheduled sessions in any subject, for
whatever reason, may seriously jeopardize their academic progress
and status. Students are expected to be in attendance at all the ses-
sions scheduled in their courses. Excessive absence may be sufficient
cause for the Registrar to remove the subject(s) from the student's
schedule.
Withdrawal
Simply ceasing to attend classes or notifying the instructor does not
constitute official withdrawal from a course. To withdraw officially from
a course, the student must notify the Registrar's Office or complete
the appropriate withdrawal form.
The Registrar will withdraw the student from a course who:
1. Does not attend one of the first three classes at the beginning
of a twelve-week quarter;
2. Does not attend one of the first two classes at the beginning of
a summer term.
48 / ACADEMIC INFORMATION
MAKEUP EXAMINATIONS
Mid-course Examinations
A student absent from a regularly scheduled mid-course examination
or quiz may request permission to take a makeup examination. This is
a privilege which may be denied if abused by an excessive number of
petitions or for other reasons.
Students applying for makeup examinations must:
1. Request from the instructor permission to take the mid-term ex-
amination or quiz;
2. The instructor will forward the examination to the Lincoln Col-
lege Office for processing.
Makeup mid-term examinations and quizzes will be given on a Satur-
day at 9:00 a.m. in a designated room at the Huntington Avenue Cam-
pus according to the published schedule. Contact the Lincoln College
Office, 219 Hayden Hall (Telephone 437-2500).
Any student who does not take the makeup examination as scheduled
will forfeit the makeup privilege.
Missed Final Examinations
If a student is absent from a final examination, he will receive a grade
of "I" (Incomplete) in the course. He may petition for a makeup final
examination at the Registrar's Office, 120 Hayden Hall.
A student does not automatically have the right to make up a missed
final examination. Students must petition for this privilege. If the peti-
tion is granted, the student must pay a $5.00 fee for taking the special
final examination. Petitions may be obtained from the Registrar's Of-
fice or in each off-campus Administration Office. Petitions for missed
finals must be filed in accordance with the published schedule. Con-
tact the Lincoln College Office, 219 Hayden Hall (Telephone 437-2500).
Students will be notified by mail when and where to take the missed
final examination. All examinations will be administered on the Boston
Campus. Those who do not take makeup final examinations as sched-
uled forfeit the makeup privilege.
ACADEMIC STANDARDS
The student is required to maintain appropriate levels of academic
achievement in terms of grades, quality-point average, and the quanti-

tative credit requirements of his program of study to satisfy academic
progress criteria and achieve graduation from Lincoln College.
Grading System
The following system of grading is used. The numerical equivalent for
each grade is in parentheses.
Audit (No Credit)
— Satisfactory (Pass-Fail grade)
— Unsatisfactory (Pass-Fail grade)
— Incomplete (Pass-Fail grade)
Grade not received
A general average of "D" is unacceptable and will not allow a student
to continue in Lincoln College or to receive a degree from Northeast-
ern University. The "F" grade is a definite failure. The standard proce-
dure for clearing failures in courses offered in Lincoln College is to
repeat the course. In some instances circumstances may warrant
amending the standard procedure. These circumstances are described
in the Student Handbook for day students. An "I" or "X" (incomplete)
grade is used for a temporary grade to show that the student has not
completed the course requirements.
Pass-Fail Courses
Any student who is not on academic probation and who has com-
pleted forty quarter hours of academic work may register for one
pass/fail course and, thereafter, for one course on a pass/fail basis for
each ten quarter hours of successfully completed work. Written per-
mission of the appropriate academic dean must be obtained for each
pass/fail course. At no time may a student register for more than one
pass/fail course per quarter.
Such courses will be restricted to free electives outside the major field
of specialization, so that no part of the specifically prescribed cur-
ricula will be affected.
The grades recorded on the basis of the pass/fail system of grading
will not figure in the computation of the QPA.
Auditing Policy
Students are permitted to audit courses upon filing the usual registra-
tion forms and paying the regular tuition fees. There is no reduction
in fees for auditing. An auditor may participate in class discussion,
50 / ACADEMIC INFORMATION
complete papers and projects and take tests and examinations for in-
formal evaluation, if desired. However, regardless of the amount or
quality of work completed, no academic credit will be granted at any
time for courses audited.
Audit Procedure
The student's decision to take a course on an audit basis must be
communicated in writing to the Registrar prior to the fourth class
meeting of the course. No exception to this procedure can be ap-
proved without authorization by the Academic Standing Committee of
the College.
Grade Reports
Grades are mailed to the student by the Registrar and will not be given
out at the office of either the Registrar or Lincoln College. Under no
circumstances will grades be given over the telephone.
Quality-Point Average
The quality points earned by the student in a given course are deter-
mined on the basis of the letter grade achieved and the number of
credit hours carried by the course. The total quality points earned,
divided by the total number of credit hours, constitute the quality-point
average.
1. When the student has more than one grade in the same course,
the most recent grade will be used in the calculation of the
quality-point average.
2. A grade of "I" will not be considered in the calculation of the
final quality-point average.
3. Although advanced standing credits (ASC) allowed for accept-
able work completed at other institutions by transfer students
count toward completion of the quantitative credit requirements,
neither the credits nor the grades earned in such courses are
included in quality-point average computations.
4. In programs made up of combined University College and Lin-
coln College courses, the cumulative quality-point average will
include all work in both colleges.
For example, a student who has registered for seven courses, cleared
a failure in one of them and received advanced standing credit (ASC)
in another, may calculate his quality-point average as follows:

The Registrar's Office will not be able to recalculate or confirm the
calculations of quality-point averages for individual students. Each stu-
dent's record will be brought up to date before his graduation. In the
meantime, borderline cases will be checked by the Lincoln College
Academic Standing Committee.
Academic Progress Criteria
It is expected that the student will at all times endeavor to achieve a
high record of achievement. The Academic Standing Committee re-
serves the right to review all students' records and deny readmission
to those who fall below a minimum quality level of achievement. This
requirement has been established as follows:
In order to be allowed to remain in the College, a student must have
achieved a quality-point average of 1.4 at the completion of 24 quarter
hours; 1.5 at the end of 48 quarter hours; and 1.6 at the end of 72 quar-
ter hours.
It should be further noted that a student who accumulates the equiva-
lent of six uncleared failures may be considered ineligible to continue
his program of study.
Scholastic Probation
The Academic Standing Committee has the authority to dismiss from
the College or place on scholastic probation any student whose schol-
arship is deficient for the following reasons: low quality-point average,
excessive outstanding failures regardless of quality-point average.
A student on scholastic probation should be particularly diligent in
his current courses and make every effort to clear his academic defi-
52 / ACADEMIC INFORMATION
ciencies as soon as possible. Students whose academic record does
not improve or whose failures are not properly cleared may not be al-
lowed to register for further courses.
When a student on scholastic probation has cleared all or a substan-
tial part of his outstanding failures he may petition the Academic
Standing Committee for removal from the probation list.
Disciplinary Probation
The Academic Standing Committee has the authority to dismiss from
the College or place on disciplinary probation any student whom it
may deem unworthy because of conduct or character. The Committee
may ask any student to withdraw from the College who is obviously
out of sympathy with its aims and ideals.
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
To receive the degree of Associate in Engineering, Associate in Sci-
ence, or Bachelor of Engineering Technology, the student must fulfill
the following requirements:
1. Must have been formally accepted into "degree candidate" status

The Association also sponsors and assists the alumnae organization
and the Varsity Club, both of which have their own officers and con-
duct various programs throughout the year. Through the Varsity Club,
the Association presents trophies to the outstanding athlete of the
year in each of the six major sports.
The Northeastern University Alumni Association is a member of the
American Alumni Council, a professional organization composed of
representatives of all major colleges and universities in the United
States and Canada.
Alumni Relations
The Alumni Association is providing a uniquely valuable service to
both the University and the community by sponsoring admissions con-
ferences for parents of high school students who are interested in
attending college. These meetings, held in cooperation with the North-
eastern Department of Admissions, have been extremely well attended.
Local residents as well as alumni of the University have been invited
to these conferences, which help to clarify many of the questions to-
day's parents and young people have concerning application pro-
cedures of colleges and universities.
Placement Service
Many requests from employers are received by the College, for men
and women of potential ability to fill important positions of responsi-
bility. It is the policy of the College to serve the students whenever
66 / STUDENT ACTIVITIES AND ALUMNI INFORMATION
possible by placing them in those positions which promise attractive
opportunities for development and advancement. The College, however,
cannot guarantee to place its students, but it does endeavor to keep
in close touch with those who desire placement service and to assist
them in obtaining satisfactory advancements in positions and income.
No charge is made for placement service. Those needing this assis-
tance should arrange an appointment with the Director of Placement.
While the College cannot guarantee positions to its graduates, the
number of requests usually exceeds the number available in the grad-
uating class of any given year. The policy of the College is to find the
best qualified men and women among its graduates for the positions
which the College is called upon to fill.
The College, in recommending a graduate for a position, furnishes the
prospective employer with the facts as to the graduate's ability, char-
acter, attitudes, habits, and other qualifications for the position as
revealed by the College records. In the last analysis, however, place-
ment in a position depends largely upon the graduate's ability to sell
his services to the prospective employer. Most employers prefer to
consider two or more candidates for a position and generally request
the College to suggest more than one person. Many manufacturing
and commercial firms throughout New England call upon the College
to assist them in filling important executive and managerial positions.

CIVIL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS
Civil Engineering deals with the planning and construction of all kinds
of relatively permanent structures and public works. Its major func-
tions are: the preparation of surveys (topographical, geological, traffic,
utility, etc.); the design of structures (buildings, bridges, dams, harbor
facilities, etc.); the planning of municipal systems (water, sanitary, gas,
flood control, air pollution control, etc.); and the development of trans-
portation facilities (highway, railway, waterway, airway, etc.).
In performing these functions, the civil engineer will work in close as-
sociation with professionals in the field, and he may develop techno-
logically to function independently and in positions of managerial
responsibility.
Employment opportunities for Civil Engineering Technology Program
graduates are with town, city, state, or federal public works depart-
ments and agencies; private consulting, engineering, architectural,
and construction organizations; and with railroads and the military.

MECHANICAL ENGINEERING TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS
Mechanical Engineering deals with the harnessing of power resources
by means of machinery to perform useful work. In contrast to civil en-
gineering, which deals primarily with static forces and structures,
mechanical engineering is more concerned with the motion and ki-
netics of devices which are activated by hydraulic, electrical, mechan-
ical, or thermodynamic forces. Major functions of the mechanical en-
gineer are: 1) design and installation of all kinds of machinery from
pocket watches to the largest of steel boring mills; 2) development and
production of engines and transportation equipment (automobile, air-
craft, ship, railway, etc.); 3) construction and operation of furnaces,
boilers, and heating and air-conditioning equipment for the control of
atmospheric and environmental conditions.
Employment opportunities for Mechanical Engineering Technology
graduates are in the areas of 1) research, design, or development; 2)
production, operation, testing, or control; 3) installation, maintenance,
and sales. In performing these functions, graduates will work in close
association with professionals in the field and may develop techno-
logically so as to function independently and in positions of mana-
gerial responsibility.

grams offered by Lincoln College are:

Leading to the Degree of Associate in Engineering
The program in Mechanical Engineering Technology prepares the graduate to
assume responsibilities related to the design, production, and installation of
mechanical tools, machinery, engines, and transportation equipment in which
there is an intermingling of mechanical and hydraulic forces. Because of the
increased mechanization of all industry, varied employment opportunities are
available in private engineering consultant groups, in light and heavy industries,
and in almost all engineering design organizations.

INTERDISCIPLINARY ENGINEERING AND
SCIENCE TECHNOLOGY PROGRAMS
These programs offered by Lincoln College present a variety of inter-
disciplinary combinations of the Engineering Technology Programs
and the Science Programs (chemistry, physics, and mathematics).
They have been developed to meet the need for technologists in the
areas of ecology, bioelectronic devices, computer systems, and other
technological applications requiring an expertise in several of the
academic disciplines.
This demand for multi-skilled technologists reflects the increased re-
liance of society on the science and engineering technologist to help
solve its growth problems. Opportunities are also developing in highly
interdisciplinary fields such as ocean engineering, bioengineering,
environmental science, and public health.
The programs are designed to prepare the student to meet the charge
of interfacing technology and society. The engineering technology stu-
dent not only learns about the disciplines that are related to his ex-
pertise but he also becomes oriented in the disciplines to which his
technological skills will be applied. A program of concentrated study
in chemistry and physics or mathematics and physics is offered to the
science technology student.

NEW GENERAL INTEREST COURSES
In response to repeated requests, we are offering several new courses in
technology which do not require students to have a mathematical background.
These courses have a three-fold purpose: 1) we would like to encourage liberal
arts and business students to get interested in technology; 2) we hope that
new students without mathematic backgrounds will be sufficiently attracted to
science and technology that they will ultimately undertake our regular curricula;
3) these courses should serve to clarify the complexities of our technological
world for anyone who chooses to undertake them.

the lincoln
college
faculty
THE STRENGTH of an educational institution lies in the quality of its
faculty. This is especially true in a college devoted to the training of
mature men and women, many of whom are already employed in their
chosen professions.
The instructional staff of Lincoln College is composed of professional
academicians from Northeastern University and neighboring educa-
tional institutions and practicing professionals from the scientific and
industrial community of Greater Boston. The theoretical training and
practical experience represented by this combination of specialists is
ideally suited to the technology programs they teach and the adult stu-
dents they serve.
The faculty are selected for their ability and active interest in the wel-
fare of ambitious part-time students. They are men and women of cul-
ture and high ideals and are qualified by educational training and pro-
fessional experience to teach effectively in their respective fields.
A staff of experienced professional educators who serve as program
and course consultants constitutes the Academic Advisory Council
and Curriculum Advisory Committee of the College. They guide, super-
vise, and assist with the administration of courses and programs.

the university
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is incorporated as a privately
endowed nonsectarian institution of higher learning under the General
Laws of Massachusetts. By special enactment, the State Legislature
has given the University general degree-granting powers. The Univer-
sity is governed by a Board of Trustees elected by and from the North-
eastern University Corporation, which comprises more than 178 dis-
tinguished business and professional men and women.
From its beginning Northeastern University's dominant purpose has
been to identify community educational needs and to meet these in
distinctive and serviceable ways. The University has not duplicated
the programs of other institutions, but has pioneered new areas of
educational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University is its Cooperative Plan,
under which students alternate periods of work and study. The Plan
was initiated by the College of Engineering in 1909 and subsequently
adopted by the Colleges of Business Administration (1922); Liberal
Arts (1935); Education (1953); Pharmacy (1962); Nursing (1964); Boston-
Bouve College (1964); the College of Criminal Justice (1967); and by
Lincoln College's daytime Bachelor of Engineering Technology pro-
gram (1971).
This time-tested method of education offers students the opportunity
to gain valuable practical experience as an integral part of their col-
lege programs and also enables them to contribute substantially to the
financing of their education. The "Co-op" Plan has been extended to
the graduate level in engineering, actuarial science, professional ac-
counting, business administration, rehabilitation administration, and
law.
In the field of adult education, Northeastern University offers graduate
and undergraduate degree programs and non-credit programs which
are specifically designed to meet the needs and interests of adults
who wish to further their education on a part-time basis.
All formal courses of study leading to degrees in the Graduate Divi-
sion, Lincoln College, and University College are approved by the
undergraduate faculties concerned, and are governed by the same
qualitative and quantitative standards as the regular day curricula.
Courses are scheduled in the day and evening at the Boston Campus,
Suburban Campus in Burlington, and at other off-campus locations
near Boston.

school graduate or the student transferring from a community college
or technical institute and who desires the full time day curricula on the
Northeastern Cooperative Plan.
THE UNIVERSITY / 23
In addition to its traditional curricula, Lincoln College Evening School
offers interdisciplinary and certificate programs providing technologi-
cal and professional development opportunities to meet special needs
of the part-time student. These programs are designed to provide
trained people for ready assimilation by the engineering field and to
prepare students for the challenge of interfacing technology and so-
ciety.
Recognizing the increasing need for higher levels of technical effi-
ciency in firefighters, Lincoln College, in collaboration with local fire-
fighting agencies, has designed a part-time evening program leading
to an Associate in Science degree in Fire Technology. The curriculum
includes a broad spectrum of those science technologies which are
basic in coping with the fire fighting problems attendant to the com-
plexities of today's society.
College of Nursing
The College of Nursing offers two separate and distinct programs of
study, both organized on the Cooperative Plan:
(a) A three-year curriculum in preparation for the R.N. Examina-
tions, and leading to the Associate in Science degree.

The Student Body
The student body of University College represents diversified interests
which, properly recognized and utilized, become one of the basic
strengths in adult education. There are approximately 12,000 students
in University College who range in age from 18 years to beyond retire-
ment. While some students enroll in University College immediately
after high school graduation, others may have graduated 25 years prior
to enrollment in college-level courses.
University College students are men and women who have full-time
commitments to their jobs, families, or other responsibilities. They may
enroll in a single course or in a full degree curriculum, depending on
whether their goal is job advancement, a new career, or personal en-
richment.
academic policies
Admission
All applicants who satisfy the requirements as regular or special stu-
dents are admitted as part-time students in University College. It is
advisable for students to have an interview with an admissions coun-
selor to help plan their academic program in University College, par-
ticularly in cases where previous credit has been completed at other
institutions, in order to avoid possible duplication of courses. Because
of the diversity of the student body in terms of background, age, in-
terests, needs, etc., there are no entrance examinations and college
board examination scores are not required. In lieu of entrance exam-
inations, students must maintain a C average in order to be admitted
to degree candidacy.
Regular Students
To be enrolled as a regular student, that is. to become a degree can-
didate, the applicant must have completed an approved secondary
school course or the equivalent 15 units* of a high school diploma.
Equivalency certificates are accepted. Regular students are those stu-
dents who expect to follow a degree program.
Special Students
Special students are those students who do not wish to enroll in a full
degree program, but are interested in taking only one or more courses
appropriate to their needs or interests. Credits for these courses may
be transferred to a degree program if the student desires to pursue a
degree at a later time.
Procedure for Admission As a Degree Candidate: Matriculation
Petition forms for admission to the status of a degree candidate are
available at offices on all University College Campuses. There are two
methods of matriculation:
*A unit represents a year's work in any subject in any approved secondary school consti-
tuting approximately a quarter of a full year's work, or the equivalent. A four-year day high
school course is regarded as representing at least 15 units of work, or 3 units in junior
high school and 12 units in a three-year high school.
33
34 / ACADEMIC POLICIES
A. Standard Method of Matriculation
1. If a student has completed 40 quarter hours of credit in Uni-
versity College, he cannot register for additional courses un-
less he has been officially accepted as a degree candidate.
2. In order to matriculate as a degree candidate, the student
must have a high school diploma or its equivalent and must
achieve a cumulative quality point average of 2.00 (an average
grade of C) for all courses completed before filing the peti-
tion. In the Liberal Arts Program, the 8 quarter hours of re-
quired English must be completed prior to matriculation.
B. Optional Method of Matriculation by Transfer Students
1. If a student has successfully completed an associate degree
program at another accredited institution, he may file for
matriculation following one quarter in residence in University
College.
2. If a student has completed 40 quarter hours at another ac-
credited institution, he may file for matriculation following one
quarter in residence in University College.
3. If a student has completed 40 quarter hours of combined
credit from another accredited institution and University Col-
lege, he may file for matriculation.
All students who file for matriculation must have a high school diploma
or its equivalent, a cumulative quality point average of 2.00, and, if in
the Liberal Arts Program, 8 quarter hours of required English.
A student who matriculates via Method B, is required to obtain written
permission from his Program Director before taking courses in an-
other institution subsequent to matriculation in University College.
The Committee on Academic Standing may require a student to take
one or more aptitude or interest tests if his credentials or academic
record fail to give evidence of probable academic success. In this
case, the student will be notified in writing that arrangements for test-
ing should be made by him with the University Counseling and Testing
Center. A fee is charged for administering these tests.
Advanced Standing Credit
After completion of matriculation requirements in University College
(40 quarter hours) Advanced Standing Credit may be obtained in two
ways:
By Transfer of Credit from Another Institution
Subject to approval by the Director of Admissions, credit may be
granted for work completed in other approved schools, colleges, or
universities. An applicant who wishes to receive credit by transfer
ACADEMIC POLICIES / 35
should petition for transfer credit with the Director of Admissions. He
should then write to the Registrar of the institution previously attended
i and request that an official transcript be sent to the Director of Ad-
missions in University College. The transcript indicates honorable dis-
i missal, courses completed, credits and grades received. The tran-
script should be sent well in advance of the registration period. A
petition for transfer credit must be filed with the Director of Admis-
sions to facilitate proper identification and processing of transfer
credit.
Students who anticipate taking courses at other Colleges or Univer-
sities while enrolled in University College must secure permission in
advance from the appropriate program director in University College.
Students who have been dismissed from another institution for aca-
demic reasons must accompany their application with a statement
from the dean or other appropriate official of their previous institution
setting forth the reasons for dismissal or probationary status with rec-
ommendation for continued study. All applicants will be considered on
their own merits.
By Examination
Credit is granted for successful completion of appropriate examina-
tions in the College Level Examination Program (CLEP). Credit may be
disallowed for work previously completed because of the remoteness
of the time of study; however, these applicants may take CLEP Exam-
inations where appropriate. Credit is also granted for non-collegiate
experience in both the Liberal Arts and Law Enforcement Programs.
See pages 87 and 109.
In all cases students admitted by transfer or advanced standing credit
from any other institution must meet the requirements for matriculated
status as set forth under the regulations applicable to regular students.
Residence Requirement
Every candidate for the baccalaureate or associate degree must fulfill
the residence requirement. The residence requirement is defined as the
satisfactory completion in University College immediately preceding
graduation of 46 consecutive quarter hours of work in course, with the
further provision that at least 12 of the 46 quarter hours must be in the
candidate's major field. All programs to meet the residency require-
ment must have the approval of the Dean. Students whose attendance
in degree programs is interrupted for a period of one year or more will
be reinstated into the program in effect at the time of their re-entry
into University College.
In the case of students who for causes beyond their control move out-
side of the reasonable commuting area of the College, and who have
36 / ACADEMIC POLICIES
completed 134 or more quarter hours of credit, the Committee on Edu-
cation will entertain a petition to allow them the privilege of complet-
ing their degree requirements at some other approved college. Under
no circumstances will a degree be awarded to any student who has
completed less than 46 quarter hours of credit in courses in University
College.
Quality Requirement for Graduation
A cumulative quality point average of 2.00 (an average grade of C) is
required for graduation. Advanced standing credits are not averaged
in the cumulative score.
Graduation with Honor
Candidates who have achieved distinctly superior attainment in their
academic work will be graduated with honor. Upon special vote of the
faculty a limited number of this group may be graduated with high
honor or with highest honor. To be considered for graduation with
honor, a student must have completed a minimum of 72 quarter hours
of work at University College. Courses credited by advanced standing
will be eliminated in determining honor graduates.
Attendance at Commencement
Attendance at commencement for all University College degree candi-
dates is optional. Degree candidates will be polled by the commence-
ment committee in this regard during the Spring Quarter.
Quality Points
The requirement for graduation from University College is 174 quarter
hours for a bachelor's degree and 96 quarter hours for an associate's
degree, with attainment of a quality point average of 2.00. Although the
credits allowed for acceptable work completed elsewhere by transfer
students count toward fulfillment of quantitative graduation require-
ments, neither the credits nor the grades earned in such courses is
included in quality point computations for graduation.
The method of figuring quality points is as follows: Each quarter hour
credit of A grade is multiplied by 4, B grade by 3, C grade by 2, D
grade by 1, and F grade by 0. The total number of quality points, di-
vided by the total number of quarter hour credits completed, shall be
the quality point average.
Students receiving an F grade in a required course must repeat the
course in its entirety including term work, examinations, and atten-
dance.
ACADEMIC POLICIES / 37
< Quality Point Averages
The Registrar's Office will not be able to recalculate or confirm the
calculations of quality point averages for individual students. Each
student's record will be brought up to date before his graduation. In
the meantime, borderline cases will be checked by the Director of Ad-
missions of University College.
Dean's List
All matriculated students who have taken a minimum of 18 quarter
hours in three consecutive quarters (Fall, Winter, Spring) of an aca-
demic year and have completed all their courses with an average of
3.0 or better shall be placed on the Dean's List. Each student shall re-
ceive a letter of commendation from the Dean of University College.
! Pass-Fail Courses
Any student who is not on academic probation and who has completed
40 Q.H. of academic work may register for one pass/fail course and,
thereafter, for one course on a pass/fail basis for each 10 Q.H. of suc-
cessfully completed work. Written permission of the appropriate aca-
demic dean must be obtained for each pass/fail course. At no time
may a student register for more than one pass/fail course per quarter.
Such courses will be restricted to free electives outside the major field
of specialization, so that no part of the specifically prescribed curric-
ula will be affected.
The grades recorded on the basis of the pass/fail system of grading
will not figure in the computation of the QPA.
Satisfactory completion of the work in all courses taken on the
pass/fail system of grading will be designated on the transcript by the
letter "S." Unsatisfactory work will be designated on the transcript by
the letter "U." Any unsatisfactory grade must be handled according to
the existing policy of the University, but must never be cleared through
the election of the same course on the basis of the pass/fail system of
grading.
An incomplete in a course taken on a pass/fail basis will be desig-
nated by the letter "X" on the transcript and must be treated accord-
ing to the normal procedure for incomplete grades.
The following REGISTRATION PROCEDURES shall prevail:
Students wishing to use the pass/fail system of grading for a course
must meet all prerequisites for such course and should signify their
desire to apply for a specific course on the basis of this system of
registration.
38 / ACADEMIC POLICIES
The student's decision to take a course on a pass/fail basis must be
made prior to the second meeting of the course and no changes will
be permitted thereafter.
Class Changes
University College reserves the right to cancel, split, or combine
classes when necessary.
Registration
Before attending classes, students must report to the registration area
to register. All students must complete their registration properly be-
fore attending class. Attendance at class, even with the instructor's
permission, does not constitute registration.
No academic credit will be recorded for students not properly regis-
tered.
In order to insure academic success, students are strongly advised to
adhere to course prerequisites.
Class Attendance and Preparation
Students are expected to attend all exercises in the subjects they are
studying unless excused in advance.
Absence from regularly scheduled exercises in any subject will seri-
ously affect the standing of the student. Consecutive absences may
cause the removal of the subject or subjects from the student's sched-
ule.
Two hours of preparation are normally required for each hour spent in
the classroom.
Withdrawal Policy
A student may be withdrawn from a course in several ways:
VOLUNTARY WITHDRAWAL — The student completes a drop course
form in the Registrar's Office or notifies the Registrar in writing of his
intention to withdraw from the course.
INITIAL ABSENCE WITHDRAWAL— If a student is absent without per-
mission from the first three meetings of a course, he will be with-
drawn by the Registrar.
END OF COURSE WITHDRAWAL— If, by the ninth or tenth week of
the quarter, the Registrar, after examining the attendance book, has
every reason to believe the student has dropped from the course, he
will officially withdraw the student and so note in the attendance book.
ACADEMIC POLICIES / 39
Change of Address
Change of address and/or name should be reported immediately to the
Registrar's Office.
Absence Because of Illness
All students who are absent from school because of extended illness,
and do not wish to be withdrawn, should inform the Registrar's Office
by letter.
Examinations
Term tests are scheduled in each quarter at the option of the instruc-
tor and are regarded as part of the term's course work. A final exam-
ination will be held at the end of each quarter in each course unless
an announcement to the contrary is made.
Homework Assignments
Students are responsible for obtaining their homework assignments by
contacting their instructor or another student in their class. Homework
assignments are not available in the University College Office.
Missed Final Examinations
A student does not automatically have the right to make up a missed
final examination. Students must petition for this privilege and must
pay a fee of $5.00 for each special examination when filing for the
special make-up exam. All students who wish to clear an I (incom-
plete) grade must pay the fee and file the proper petition in the Regis-
trar's Office, 120-HA, or in each off-campus administrative office. Peti-
tions for missed finals must be filed in accordance with the schedule
listed below:
final examination file petition make-up final exam
missed during: no later than: during week of:
Fall Quarter 1975 January 16, 1976 February 9, 1976
Winter Quarter 1976 April 16, 1976 May 10, 1976
Spring Quarter 1976 July 9, 1976 August 9, 1976
Summer Quarter 1976 October 8, 1976 November 1, 1976
Students will be notified by mail when and where to take the missed
final examination. All examinations will be administered on the Boston
Campus.
Students who do not take make-up final examinations as scheduled
(see below for I grade explanation) and clear an incomplete through
the instructor, will be billed the $5.00 make-up exam fee by the Bursar
before the I grade is changed.
40 / ACADEMIC POLICIES
Grading System
The following system of grading is used. The numerical equivalent for
each grade is in parentheses.
A (4.0) — Outstanding L —Audit (No Credit)-UC and LC only
B (3.0) — Good S — Satisfactory (Pass-Fail Grade)
C (2.0) — Satisfactory U — Unsatisfactory (Pass-Fail Grade)
D (1.0) — Poor X — Incomplete (Pass-Fail Grade)
F (0.0) — Failure * — Grade not received
I ( — ) — Incomplete
A general average of D is unacceptable and will not allow a student
to continue in University College or to receive a degree from North-
eastern University. The F grade is a definite failure and requires
repetition of course in its entirety. The I grade is given only when
the student fails to take the final examination.
The I Grade
The I grade may be given only when the student fails to take the final
examination.
An instructor may decide that a student has done so poorly in the
course that even a perfect grade in a make-up final could not raise the
grade from F, in which case F is the proper grade, irrespective of the
missed final.
If the student fails to complete some other major portion of the course
work (examination, quizzes, major paper, etc.) a letter grade (A, B, C,
D, F) should be assigned. This grade can be changed, upon petition,
when the deficiency which led to the assigned letter grade is made up
to the satisfaction of and in the manner prescribed by the instructor.
All deficiencies must be made up in the prescribed manner no later
than the quarter following the recording of the grade.
*Grade Reports
An official grade report will be mailed approximately three weeks after
the quarter is completed to each registered student. Grades will not
be given over the telephone or at the Registrar's Office.
*A supplementary grade report will be issued when the missing grade is received. Please
do not call the Registrar's Office for it. University regulations prohibit issuing grades by
telephone.
S, U, X, I and L grades are not included in the Quality Point Average. S grades are in-
cluded in "Earned Hours" toward the degree. Cumulative totals do not appear on reports
for non-matriculated students.
ACADEMIC POLICIES / 41
Auditing Policy
Students are permitted to audit courses upon filing the usual registra-
tion forms and paying the regular tuition fees. There is no reduction in
fees for auditing. An auditor may participate in class discussion, com-
plete papers and projects and take tests and examinations for informal
evaluation, if desired. However, regardless of the amount or quality of
work completed, no academic credit will be granted at any time for
courses audited.
Audit Procedure
'The student's decision to take a course on an audit basis must be
communicated in writing to the Registrar prior to the fourth class
meeting of the course. No exception to this procedure can be ap-
proved without authorization by the Academic Standing Committee of
the College.
Calculation of Quality Point Average
1. When the student has more than one grade in the same course,
the most recent grade will be used in the calculation of the
quality point average.
2. A grade of I will not be considered in the calculation of qual-
ity point average.
3. Although advanced standing credits (ASC) allowed for accept-
able work completed at other institutions by transfer students
count toward completion of the quantitative credit requirements,
neither the credits nor the grades earned in such courses is
included in quality point average computations.
For example, a student who has registered for seven courses, cleared
a failure in one of them, and received advanced standing credit (ASC)
in another, may calculate his quality point average as follows:

Students whose scholarship in any given period is unsatisfactory may
be dropped from the College or may be placed on probation.
Disciplinary Action
The Committee on Regulations and Discipline has the authority to dis-
miss from the College or place on probation at any time or to strike
from the list of candidates for the degree, any student deemed un-
worthy because of conduct or character.
Maximum Course Load

rectors may allow six (6) subjects if the student has a 2.50 Q.P.A. or
better.
Dean's List students may elect any number of subjects per quarter not
to exceed sixteen (16) quarter hours without special permission.
Not all the courses listed in this bulletin will be offered. A final list of
those classes to be offered will be contained in the University College
Schedule of Courses which gives the hours, days and location of
classes. This schedule is issued prior to the Fall, Winter, Spring, and
Summer Quarters.
Changes in Requirements
The continuing development of University College forces frequent re-
vision of curricula. In every new bulletin some improvements are in-
dicated. When no hardship is imposed on the student because of
changes, and when the facilities of the school permit, the student is
expected to meet the requirements of the latest bulletin. If the student
finds it impossible to meet these requirements, the bulletin for the year
in which he entered becomes the binding one.
tuition and fees
Tuition and fees are refundable only as stated under "Refund of Tui-
tion." Checks and drafts for all charges are to be drawn to the order
of Northeastern University.
I Initial Registration Fee
A ten dollar ($10.00) registration fee, required of all new students is
due and payable upon registration. This fee is nonrefundable.
Tuition
Tuition for all credit courses is $35.00 per quarter hour of credit.
Charges for registration and tuition for special courses are at the rate
specified for each course. Students are permitted to audit courses,
however, there is no reduction in fees for auditing.
Non-credit courses are charged at quarter hour rates comparable to
those of credit courses meeting on an equivalent contact hour sched-
ule.
Students are not permitted to attend class sessions or take any exam-
ination or test until they have paid their tuition fees or have made
satisfactory arrangements for payment.
Students will not be advanced in class standing, or permitted to re-
enroll in the University, nor will degrees be conferred until all financial
obligations to the University have been met.
No certificate of honorable dismissal will be issued to any student who
has not fully met his financial obligations to the University.
Tuition Budget Payment Plans
Occasionally situations develop — usually beyond the control of the
student — which make it difficult to meet the payments in the manner
outlined above. Under such circumstances the student is advised to
discuss his problem personally at the Bursar's Office, where one of
the budget plans or a deferred payment agreement may be worked
out. Such arrangements should be made before the end of the first
week of the quarter or within one week of the date of registration if
43
44 / TUITION AND FEES
the student enters late. A charge of $2.00 will be made. Failure to take
immediate action will result in a late payment fee of $10.00.
Tuition Underwritten by Employers
An increasing number of companies are underwriting part or all of the
cost of tuition of students in their employ. In cases where payment is
to be made directly by the employer to the University, the student
should furnish to the Bursar's Office a purchase order covering his
registration or a statement from an officer of his company certifying
that the company is underwriting the tuition.

failing to comply unless special payment arrangements are approved
by the Bursar's Office.
Refund of Tuition
The general policy in all schools and colleges of the University with
respect to refunds of tuition to students is as follows:
The University provides all instruction on an academic quarter basis for
which students pay at the beginning of each quarter. Tuition refunds
will be granted through the first four weeks of a quarter only when
specific conditions are met. Questions regarding refunds should be
discussed with the Bursar.
Tuition refunds will be granted only on the basis of the date appearing
on the official withdrawal application when filed with the Registrar in
Room 120 Hayden Hall. Non-attendance does not constitute official
withdrawal.
Refunds will be granted in accordance with the following schedule:
official withdrawal filed within: percentage of tuition
1st week of quarter 100%
2nd week of quarter 75%
3rd week of quarter 50%

STUDENT ACTIVITIES / 53
The Council is made up of interested students in University and Lin-
coln College, representatives of part-time interest groups, and those
specially certified by the Council because of their demonstrated inter-
est in the overall adult programs of the University.
The E.S.C., a member of the United States Association of Evening Stu-
dents, meets evenings on a monthly basis in the Student Center. Stu-
dents are welcome to visit, observe, and express opinions concerning
part-time student life. Free refreshments are served at all meetings.
Use of Gymnasium Facilities
Specific schedules for use of the pool, weight training room, indoor
athletic field and track, handball courts, gymnasium, and wrestling
room are set up each quarter for use by all part-time students. In
order to become eligible, students must obtain a temporary Gym-
nasium Pass each time they wish to use the Cabot Gymnasium Com-
plex. Passes are available in the Cabot Complex, Monday through Friday
from 4:30 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. and on Saturday and Sunday from 1:00 p.m.
to 4:00 p.m. All students requesting a pass must present their Student
Identification Card prior to receiving a pass. Passes are issued on a
first-come, first-served basis. Students using the Cabot Gymnasium
Complex are required to abide by all the Rules of the Gym and may
be asked to complete a Medical Release form.
Evening Ski Club
The Evening Ski Club was established as a special interest club by
students in University and Lincoln College to give skiers an oppor-
tunity to meet other skiers for the purpose of promoting the sport and
its related activities. Events sponsored by the Evening Ski Club include
wine and cheese parties held locally and in the various ski areas of
Maine, New Hampshire, and Vermont. A summer clambake is also
arranged on a local beach, usually in July or August. Meetings are
held from October through April on a bi-weekly basis on the main
campus. Students interested should contact the Evening Student Activ-
ities Office in 102 Churchill Hall.
Alumni Association
More than 52,000 alumni are members of the all-University Alumni As-
sociation which has as its prime purposes the promotion of the welfare
of Northeastern University, the establishment of a mutually beneficial
relationship between the University and its alumni, and the perpetua-
tion of fellowship among members of the Association.
The Alumni Relations office is located in Room 101, Ell Student Center.
The official records and addresses of alumni are maintained in Room
260, United Realty Building.
54 A STUDENT ACTIVITIES
Activities of the Association, including the Homecoming Day celebra-
tion and the annual presentation of Professional Promise Awards to
outstanding seniors in Lincoln and University Colleges, are directed by
the Vice President for Alumni Affairs. Alumni officers also attend meet-
ings of the undergraduate classes to form a closer relationship between
the Association and its future members.
The Alumni Relations Office assists the various class officers in plan-
ning class reunions. Each class normally holds a reunion every five
years during the month of June. The Vice President for the Alumni
Class Council is responsible for coordinating class activities and orga-
nizing class functions.
The Vice President for Alumni Clubs works in close association with
officers of the more than 50 Regional Alumni Clubs which have been
established from coast to coast. All alumni are eligible to become
members of these organizations. The alumni clubs meet periodically,
often in conjunction with visits from members of the faculty or with
athletic events.
For Boston area alumni, monthly luncheon meetings are held in both
the downtown and uptown sections of the city.
The Association also sponsors and assists the Alumnae Organization
and the Varsity Club, both of which have their own officers and con-
duct various programs throughout the year. Through the Varsity Club,
the Association presents trophies to the outstanding athlete of the
year in each of the five major sports.
One of the most recent developments in alumni activities is the orga-
nization of seminars which are conducted by the Association in co-
operation with the University's Center for Continuing Education. The
seminars are designed particularly for alumni who have a special inter-
est in current events and the field of adult education.
The Northeastern University Alumni Association is a member of the
American Alumni Council, a professional organization composed of
representatives of all major colleges and universities in the United
States and Canada.
Alumni Relations
The Alumni Association is providing a uniquely valuable service to
both the University and the community by sponsoring admissions con-
ferences for parents of high school students who are interested in at-
tending college. These meetings, held in cooperation with the North-
eastern Department of Admissions, have been extremely well attended.
Local residents as well as Alumni of the University have been invited
to these conferences which help to clarify many of the questions
today's parents and young people have concerning application pro-
cedures of colleges and universities.
programs of study
University College conducts part-time educational programs at the
undergraduate level during day and evening hours. The programs are
designed to meet the varying needs and interests of adult students
who may enroll as (1) Regular students following degree programs or
as (2) Special students taking single courses or special programs.
University College programs leading to the Bachelor of Science and
Bachelor of Arts degrees provide opportunities for cultural and profes-
sional development equivalent in quality and scope to those offered in
the conventional four-year college enrolling full-time students. The
bachelor's degree requires 174 quarter hours of credit.
Programs leading to the Associate in Science degree provide students
a background in fundamental areas in business administration, liberal
arts, law enforcement, health professions, and therapeutic recreation
services. The Associate degree requires 96 quarter hours of credit and
is equivalent to the conventional two-year or junior college in scope
and quality.

'Aims
Business Administration programs of study are offered to meet the
needs of adult men and women wishing to acquire a college education
on a part-time basis. The opportunity to achieve professional compe-
tence in a chosen field, while developing potential for further man-
agerial growth, is one of the program's principal objectives. Degree
programs are designed to create both a breadth of perspective and a
degree of specialization. Breadth of perspective will be obtained
through exposure to a well-balanced sequence of liberal arts courses,
which emphasize fundamental economic laws, and the social and cul-
tural foundations of our changing American society. Specialized knowl-
edge for future managerial growth will be acquired through the study
of basic business courses, in addition to a self-determined study of a
major business area.
I Requirements
i Associate in Science Degree
The Associate in Science degree is offered in the following fields of
study: Business Administration, Electronic Data Processing, Purchas-
ing, and Real Estate. To qualify for the associate degree 96 quarter
hours must be successfully completed in one of the four associate
programs. Detailed information on these programs together with a
recommended sequence for completing them appears on the following
pages.
New Students — Please Note:
In an effort to achieve a certain level of analytic and academic sophis-
tication among students taking upper level business administration
courses (designated by an asterisk wherever they appear in the cata-
log), University College instituted a new procedure in the Fall Quarter
of 1969 whereby all new students are required to successfully com-
57
58 / BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
plete an appropriate associate degree program before they become
eligible to take upper level business administration courses. Special
students (students not pursuing a degree program) may take upper
level courses if they can demonstrate to a program adviser (always
present during registration) or to one of the deans in University Col-
lege that they have an adequate background to cope with upper level
course content. In determining whether a student has "an adequate
background," the program advisers and the deans will evaluate, but
not be limited to, such factors as work experience, former college
work, independent study, etc.
The "appropriate" program for all Bachelor degree students, except
the Management Information Systems (MIS) degree student, is the As-
sociate degree program in Business Administration. The "appropriate"
program for the MIS degree student is the Associate degree program
in Electronic Data Processing (EDP). Students pursuing one of the
other associate programs or students pursuing an "inappropriate"
associate program (e.g., student following EDP associate program
who wants to major in finance in his bachelor's program) may make
special arrangements with the Dean of Administrations or the Director
of Business Programs for a bachelor's program.
A student with a 2.0 average or better in an Associate degree program
will be considered by University College as having "successfully com-
pleted" the program. It should be noted that students do not have to
formally receive Associate degrees; successful completion of the Asso-
ciate degree program (or demonstration of an "adequate background"
in the case of special students) is all that is necessary for entry into
upper level business administration courses.
The Bachelor of Science Degree
The Bachelor of Science degree in Business Administration is offered
in the following fields of study: Accounting, Finance, Industrial Man-
agement, Industrial Technology, Insurance, Management, Management
Information Systems, Marketing, Personnel and Industrial Relations,
Transportation and Physical Distribution Management, and in the
Combined Program in Liberal Arts and Management.
In general, the Bachelor of Science degree requires successful com-
pletion of the following areas of study:

Aims
In providing the means to a modern liberal education, University Col-
lege has the main objective of stimulating and guiding the self-
development of the student in three main areas: first, his intellectual
growth; second, the development of his character and sense of values;
and third, his preparation for, or advancement in, a career.
Intellectual growth — the development of the ability to think indepen-
dently and creatively — rests upon the foundation of a sound general
education. Through the liberal arts curricula, students are guided to-
ward an appreciative understanding of the active discovery of ideas
and methods in the areas of humanities, natural science, and social
science. With this training, the student can more fully realize the basic
values upon which civilization rests and can more fully participate in
the intellectual, moral, and material achievement of that civilization.
Through its many programs, University College endeavors to provide
experiences conducive to the development of strength of character
and a sense of personal responsibility, including such personal qual-
ities as self-reliance, integrity, perseverance, and the ability to work
with others.
University College holds that there is no inconsistency between a truly
liberal education and preparation for a vocation. As an adventure in
intellectual discovery, a liberal education leads to the broadening and
intensification of interests as the student becomes aware of his own
mental strengths and weaknesses. This discovery is essential for mak-
ing more intelligent and realistic appraisals of himself and his career.
His career brings meaning and focus to his educational experience.
His education presents both a challenge to accept responsibility and
an opportunity to seek knowledge and skills for himself.
Methods
To enable each student to plan a college program in keeping with his
own interests and aptitudes, a wide range of electives is offered. This
83
84 / LIBERAL ARTS
does not mean that students are free to elect courses indiscriminately,
for if they are to obtain a liberal education they must have training in
several basic fields.
Therefore, the Curriculum Committee of University College has estab-
lished basic minimum requirements in each of several fields. These
distribution requirements are outlined with each of the program offer-
ings.
Bachelors Degrees
Bachelor of Arts
Matriculating students must indicate their choice of degree programs,
if the major department offers the option.
Major fields of study are offered in Economics, English, Art, Political
Science, History, Psychology, Sociology-Anthropology, and Music. Stu-
dents should choose their major field of study and their electives in
consultation with a program adviser.
The distribution requirements, including specific required courses are
shown with each curriculum.
Each curriculum normally provides for not less than 174 quarter hours
of work, including at least 40 quarter hours of advanced work in a ma-
jor field, and at least 30 quarter hours of elective liberal arts courses.
All candidates for the Bachelor of Arts degree must have satisfactorily
completed in college one full year of a modern language beyond the
elementary level, 4 quarter hours of Composition and Rhetoric and 4
quarter hours of Introduction to Literary Forms.
No student transferring from another college or university is eligible to
receive a degree, until at least 46 quarter hours of academic work
have been completed at Northeastern University immediately preced-
ing graduation.
New Bachelor of Science
Some departments have elected to offer a new B.S. degree, the re-
quirements for which are listed after the B.A. degree in the following
pages (unless otherwise stated, the requirements are the same as for
the B.A. degree).
Chemical-Biological Technology Programs
Recognizing the need for technicians and technologists in modern so-
ciety, University College offers the following programs (formerly in
Lincoln College):
LIBERAL ARTS / 85
Chemical-Biological Technology (A.S.) page 105.
Chemical-Biological Technology (B.S.) page 106.
The Associate in Science Degree
The program leading to the Associate degree is offered for those de-
siring a general cultural background in the liberal arts and humanities,
but who do not wish to pursue a major field of concentration for the
baccalaureate degree.
Candidates for the Associate in Science degree in Liberal Arts must
complete a minimum of 96 quarter hours of credit. This is approxi-
mately one half of the requirements (174 quarter hours) for the Bache-
lor of Science degree.
To provide a balanced program which will achieve the established ob-
jectives, the faculty has set a minimum credit requirement in the sev-
eral areas of study as listed under each major.
Distribution Requirements
For the purpose of satisfying the distribution requirements in all Lib-
eral Arts Majors:
Math-Science includes only courses in Mathematics (10....), Physics
(11 ), Chemistry (12 ), Earth Science (16 ), Biology (18 ),
and Psychology (lab. courses only) (19. . . .).
Humanities includes only courses in Art (27. . . .), Speech and Theatre
Arts (29. . . .), English (except required) (30. . . .), Journalism (38. . . .),
Modern Languages (except required elementary or conversational)
(31 . . . . to 34. . . .), Philosophy (26. . . .), and Music (28 ).
Social Sciences includes only courses in Economics (39....), History
(23....), Political Science (22....), Psychology (except laboratory
courses) (19....), Social Welfare (25....), and Sociology-Anthropol-
ogy (20 and 21 ).
English Requirement
The 8 quarter hours of required English* must be taken prior to matric-
ulation. These are required courses which cannot be used to satisfy
distribution requirements in any liberal arts course of study.

30.604, 30.605, (or 30.606) Introduction to Literary Forms
I, II (or Intensive) 4 q.h.
*For new English requirements see explanation on p. 220.
86 / LIBERAL ARTS
Honors Program
An upperclass honors program is provided in University College to en-
able superior students to develop their potential to the highest degree
by making it possible for them to pursue studies in their major fields to
greater depth than is possible in the regular courses.
The nature of the program is determined by the academic department
concerned. Programs may involve any of the following elements: spe-
cial research projects culminating in honor theses, seminars, reading
projects, directed independent study, or creative work. Flexibility is the
keynote, with every consideration given to the individual needs and re-
quirements of the student.
Students who have earned 96 quarter hours of credit toward their
Bachelor's degree and who have a grade-point average of 3.0 or bet-
ter are eligible to apply to the Director of Liberal Arts in University
College for admission to the program. Acceptance as an honors can-
didate rests with the academic department concerned.
Acceptance of Credits by the College of Liberal Arts*
The College of Liberal Arts permits its students to enroll for credit in
all courses in University College offered on a quarterly basis, when
they are pertinent to the student's program and have been approved
by the Dean of the College of Liberal Arts. The credits for such
courses may be applied:
1. To the total number of credits needed for graduation
2. To satisfy distribution requirements
3. To fulfill language and major deficiencies
Credits from University College, as well as those from other accredited
institutions, may not be applied to the quality point average of students
in the College of Liberal Arts except when such credits are from courses
taken as substitutes for those College of Liberal Arts courses failed by
students. In such instances students must receive a grade of C or bet-
ter in the University College courses and then only 2.0 quality points
are applied to the student's record for each course. Courses taken in
University College which are not offered in the Liberal Arts College,
may be transferred with the full grade upon approval of the major de-
partment.
Transfer of Students to the College of Liberal Arts*
Those students enrolled in University College who wish to transfer to
the College of Liberal Arts must apply through the Department of Ad-
missions of the Basic Colleges.
"One of the Basic (day) Colleges of Northeastern University.
LIBERAL ARTS / 87
Advanced Standing Credit — Credit for Non-Collegiate Experience (NCE)
A matriculated Liberal Arts student with a departmental major in Uni-
versity College may obtain up to 16 quarter hours of credit (excluding
CLEP credit) for knowledge acquired in a non-traditional manner.
The student will petition his major adviser (with a copy to the Director
of Admissions) for such credit, listing the Liberal Arts course(s), as
well as the reasons, for which he feels he should receive credit. He
may also petition for credit for subject matter which has no counter-
part course in University College. The major adviser will contact the
consultant of the appropriate Liberal Arts department to arrange for an
appraisal of the student's credentials. At the discretion of the depart-
ment, this appraisal may or may not include a formal examination.
Upon receipt of the consultant's recommendation, the student may re-
quest the Director of Admissions to inform him of the status of his
petition.
In order to plan their last year and to expedite the evaluation of their
petition for NCE credit, students planning to graduate during a par-
ticular year are urged to submit petitions prior to June 1 of the year
preceding graduation. No petitions can be considered after February
1 for June graduation or after March 1 for September graduation.
In no case will this credit be considered as partial fulfillment of the
residence requirement nor will a grade be assigned.
No credit will be assigned in this manner for courses which can be
accredited through the CLEP testing program at the time of the peti-
tion.
Wherever possible, credit will be assigned for specific courses.
It is possible that this credit may be applicable toward a degree in Uni-
versity College only.
Field Work Courses
To provide the opportunity for a student to apply his academic back-
ground to practical problems, several departments have introduced
courses in their curriculum entitled "Field Work in . . . ."
A field work course shall have the following characteristics (as voted
by the Curriculum Committee):
1. It shall be a one quarter course worth six quarter hours of credit.
2. Only matriculated majors within the department offering the course
may register.
3. The prerequisites shall be departmentally established.
88 / LIBERAL ARTS
4. Each student shall make his own arrangement for carrying on suit-
able field work at a departmentally acceptable organization in-
volving departmental^ acceptable field work experience(s). The
department will participate in student placement only in an ad-
visory capacity.
5. Each student shall spend a minimum of fifteen hours per week at
the outside organization on a volunteer or paid basis.
6. Each student shall meet with the departmental field work adviser
as frequently as the adviser feels necessary but, in any case, no
fewer than three times per quarter (once to formulate the program
of field work experience, once to discuss ongoing work and once
to transmit and discuss the final written report).
7. The student's grade shall be dependent upon both the quality of
the experience as demonstrated in the final report and the discus-
sions between the U.C. field work adviser and the outside super-
visor.
8. So long as one student registers, the course will not be cancelled.
9. The outside supervisor will be offered a transferrable voucher for
a tuition-free course at Northeastern University.
Prior to registration, each student should consult with his major de-
partment.
All field work courses will be numbered as follows: — .699.

forcement, and Security. Students should choose their major field of
study and their electives in consultation with a program adviser.
Each curriculum provides for not less than 174 quarter hours of work,
including at least 60 quarter hours of advanced work in a major field.
No student transferring from another college or university is eligible to
receive a degree until at least 46 quarter hours of academic work have
been completed at Northeastern University immediately preceding
graduation.

LAW ENFORCEMENT / 109
Associate in Science Degree Program
The program leading to the associate degree is offered for those who
wish to obtain a general background in correctional practices, law en-
forcement, or security, but do not wish to pursue a major field of con-
centration for the baccalaureate degree.
Candidates for the Associate in Science degree must complete a min-
imum of 96 quarter hours of credit. This is approximately one half of
the requirements for the Bachelor of Science degree, and includes at
least 40 quarter hours of work in a major field.
Honors Program
*The Honors Program in the field of law enforcement is designed to
provide qualified students with the opportunity to achieve a broader
and deeper intellectual academic experience within their chosen
fields: corrections, law enforcement, or security.
In general, the Honors Program consists of the following areas: inde-
pendent study, directed reading seminar, independent research pro-
jects, and special seminars.
The particular academic structure of a student's Honors Program will
be arranged in consultation with the Program Director and the Honors
Faculty Committee, to direct the student's program.
The Honors Program is open to all matriculated Law Enforcement Pro-
gram students in University College, who have obtained an associate
degree or equivalent, and a minimum cumulative grade point average
of 3.0. Students who are eligible for this program may apply for admis-
sion and approval, to the Director of Law Enforcement Programs.
Advanced Standing Credit — Credit for Non-Collegiate Experience (NCE)
A matriculated University College student with a department major in
Corrections, Law Enforcement, or Security, may obtain up to 16 quar-
ter hours of credit (excluding CLEP), by petitioning to take a compre-
hensive examination in the specific subject area based upon the stu-
dent's knowledge acquired in a non-traditional manner. Petitions for
these examinations may be obtained in 102 Churchill Hall or 200
Churchill Hall.
In no case will this credit be considered as partial fulfillment of the
residence requirement nor will a letter grade be assigned.
No credit will be assigned in this manner for courses which can be ac-
credited through the CLEP Testing Program at the time of the petition.
Credit will only be assigned to specific courses. It is possible that this
credit may be applicable toward a degree in University College only.

Course Sequence
The course sequence as listed is merely a frame of reference, a sug-
gested guide to assist students in arranging their program. Students
who wish to add a fifth course each quarter to this sequence may do
so without approval of the department.
Intensive Courses
Many courses are frequently offered as single quarter intensives dur- j
ing the regular school year. Please refer to the listing of courses on
page 301.
Intensive courses offer the opportunity for a student to achieve his ob-
jective in a shorter period of time, i.e., a student could reasonably earn
a B.S. degree in five years, and an associate degree in three years.

Director, Health Professions Programs
Telephone 437-3321
Aims
Programs in Health Sciences are offered through University College in
order to help mature students improve their educational preparation
for advancement and service in hospitals and other health agencies
through part-time study.
In addition to offering courses in the liberal arts and in business ad-
ministration, specialized courses for particular categories of health
personnel are offered when such offerings are justified in terms of
community and student neea. The unique resources of the Boston
area as a medical center offer excellent support facilities for these
health-related programs.
Degree programs, both associate and baccalaureate, are designed to
provide professional specialization and general cultural development.
All programs are designed to meet the accreditation standards of the
Council on Medical Education of the American Medical Association
and of licensing or registration boards where such exist.
Course Distribution
While students will graduate from the programs in health science pre-
pared to assume a position in the health profession of his choice, and
in which he has specialized, it is the goal of Northeastern University
that graduates will have a balanced educative background. To this
end, the following curriculum design will be in effect for most pro-
grams.
Professional and Professionally Related 35-50%
Basic and Allied Sciences 25^40%
Liberal Arts (non-science) 25-40%
Students will choose electives to fulfill course distribution require-
ments and to equal the number of credits required for the specific de-
gree.
Clinical Assignments
Clinical assignments are available for students whose program re-
quires directed applied study in a clinical setting. In most instances
didactic information is presented at the University while clinical prac-
tice is at various hospitals or other health agencies in the Greater Bos-
129
130 / HEALTH PROFESSIONS PROGRAMS
ton community. Academic credit earned during the practicum is ap-
plicable in most instances, toward the degree requirement.
Students accepting clinical assignments in hospitals, either as part of
their clinical rotations or cooperative assignments, are expected to ad-
here to hospital dress codes and any other requirements of the hos-
pital, all of which are outside University control.
HEALTH SCIENCE Bachelor of Science in Health Science Degree
The Bachelor of Science in Health Science is available to students
holding an Associate Degree and/or certification, registration, or licen-
sure (as defined by University regulations) in a specific health pro-
fession.

The Profession
As medical knowledge has advanced and become highly specialized,
trained personnel in the fields related to medicine have become impor-
tant members of the health care team. As members of this team, res-
piratory therapists support and assist in the effort toward optimum
patient care by using a variety of treatments and rehabilitative proce-
dures to help patients with respiratory problems. They work in modern
health care facilities with sophisticated respirators, ultrasonic nebuliz-
ers, blood gas machines, pulmonary function equipment, and oxygen
administering devices.
As physicians rely more and more on specialized techniques and
equipment, the respiratory therapist will play an increasingly important
role in patient care.
HEALTH PROFESSIONS PROGRAMS / 141

MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE— CYTOTECHNOLOGY
Bachelor of Science Degree or Associate in Science Degree
The Profession
Cytotechnology is a specialty in the broader field of medical laboratory
science. Cytotechnologists are employed in pathology laboratories,
where they expertly examine slides of cells looking for minute abnor-
malities which are the early warning signs of cancer and related dis-
ease. Cytotechnology occupies a highly important place in clinical
medicine, requiring a technologist with highly specialized laboratory
training and a sound academic background.
The programs are offered through University College and are con-
ducted in affiliation with the several hospitals which comprise the Bos-
ton School of Cytotechnology. The programs lead to the Associate in
Science or the Bachelor of Science Degree, which are awarded by
University College. Completion of the program qualifies a student for
admission to the professional examination conducted by the Board of
Registry of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists.
The basic sciences and the general education courses are offered
evenings, but the professional courses are offered only full-time, days,
in cooperation with the affiliated hospitals. Students planning to enter
the professional courses are advised to consult the program coordi-
nator prior to the Winter Quarter preceding entrance to the hospital
program.
Prerequisite: Satisfactory completion of the Mathematics Placement
Test or the Basic Mathematics I and II courses (10.330 and 10.331). The
Mathematics Placement Test must be taken well in advance of the

MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE— MEDICAL TECHNOLOGY
Bachelor of Science Degree or Associate in Science Degree
The Profession
Medical Technology is a respected and important health profession.
The medical technologist works as a professional in close association
with pathologists, doctors, and hospital and medical laboratory per-
sonnel. Working in a variety of specialized fields such as bacteriology,
blood-banking, histology, hematology, biochemistry, and nuclear and
radiochemistry, the medical technologist makes important observa-
tions necessary for critical diagnosis by the doctor upon early detec-
tion and treatment of disease.
The Associate Degree Medical Laboratory Technician likewise is an
important member of the health team. His responsibilities are com-
mensurate with his background and he works in close association with
medical technologists and pathologists.
The Registered Medical Technologist and the Associate Degree Medi-
cal Laboratory Technician are in constant demand in hospital labora-
tories, clinics, public health agencies, pharmaceutical firms, research
foundations, and in the Armed Forces.
The baccalaureate program in Medical Technology (Medical Labora-
tory Science) is conducted in affiliation with several Hospital Schools
of Medical Technology approved by the Council on Medical Education
of the American Medical Association. The program leads to a Bache-
lor of Science degree, which is awarded by University College, and
entitles the student to write the registry examination in Medical Tech-
nology MT (ASCP) given by the Board of Registry of Medical Technol-
ogists of the American Society of Clinical Pathologists.
Students who have appropriate clinical experience may apply to write

MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE— HEMATOLOGY
Bachelor of Science Degree
The Profession
Hematology is a specialty in the broader field of medical laboratory
science. Hematology technologists are employed in hospitals and clini-
cal laboratories where they perform specific laboratory tests — includ-
ing differential cell counts and bone marrow examinations and hemo-
globin and hematocrit determinations — which aid in the diagnosis,
treatment, and follow-up of infections, anemias, and leukemias. The
hematology technologist also performs coagulation studies which aid
the diagnosis and treatment of bleeding disorders and the treatment of
patients on anticoagulant therapy. The modern hematology laboratory
is well equipped with electronic instruments which the technologist
must operate and maintain. Additional responsibilities include labora-
tory quality control and associated problem solving.
The current requirements for categorical certification in hematology
are indicated by the Board of Registry of the American Society of Clini-
cal Pathologists as follows:
A candidate for certification in hematology must meet at least one of
the following requirements:
1. Certification in Medical Technology by the Board of Registry of the
American Society of Clinical Pathologists, plus one year of satisfactory
hematology experience in an acceptable laboratory within the three
years immediately prior to application.
2. A baccalaureate degree in biological sciences or chemistry from a
college or university accredited by a recognized regional accrediting
agency plus two years of hematology experience in an acceptable
laboratory.
Students should contact the American Society of Clinical Pathologists,
Board of Registry, P.O. Box 4872, Chicago, Illinois 60680, for details
concerning their eligibility to write the hematology examination.
The curriculum in hematology does not incorporate a clinical or ap-
plied study component, but is primarily designed for one who works
in this field, giving him the opportunity to earn a baccalaureate degree
with a concentration in his area of interest.
The Medical Laboratory Science Professional Courses, numbered in
the 87.100 and 87.200 series, will be offered directly through the Col-
lege of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions. Students must regis-
ter as Special Students of that basic college and tuition will be the
same as that charged for all basic college Medical Laboratory Science

GENERAL OBJECTIVES
The teacher education program in University College is deeply con-
cerned with the quality of those who teach. In the paragraphs that fol-
low, quality is generally described and the several ways of assessing it
are outlined.
Objective I: Every teacher should be broadly educated.
All students are expected to develop breadth in their program in two
ways. First, students will be required to complete certain common
course work: social science, United States history, American literature,
effective speaking, human development, and English. Second, all stu-
dents must complete a minimum of 16 credits in each of the following
areas: science and mathematics, humanities, and social sciences.
Objective II: Every teacher should achieve an expertness in some field
of knowledge.
The Teacher Education Program in University College offers an aca-
demic major in the field of English. The major is designed to prepare
English teachers for the junior or senior high school. It will also pro-
vide a basis for specialized graduate study in English as well as in
education.
Objective III: Each teacher should be professionally prepared for the
position of his choice.
In addition to their general education and specialized concentration,
all students will share some common professional course work with re-
lated out-of-class experience and, in addition, will take course work
appropriate to their level or field of teaching. Student teaching during
the senior year will serve as an opportunity to apply what has been
learned in the previous years. Beginning students will have about two
years to estimate their abilities to master college work, to discover the
wisdom of their choice of a major field, and to evaluate the strength of
their commitment to, and qualifications for, teaching.
154
EDUCATION / 155
Admission Requirements
Important to the future teacher is strong ability in the communication
skills and adequate strength in the field of special interest. As impor-
tant as the pattern and quality of an applicant's preparation are the
personal qualifications which contribute to success in teaching.
Upon completion of all courses (or their equivalent) listed under Quar-
ters 1-6 on p. 157, students desiring certification must apply to the Col-
lege of Education* for admission to the professional sequence of the
teacher education program. They will be expected to present such evi-
dence as the College of Education shall require. Evaluations will be
made on academic aptitude, verbal fluency, interest in working with
young people, and emotional maturity. A serious attempt will be made
to assess these factors in their interrelationships rather than as iso-
lated phenomena. Students accepted into the professional sequence
of the College of Education will be expected to commit themselves to
the remaining requirements of the program.
Transfers
Students admitted to advanced standing in University College (see p.
34) may apply for admission to the professional sequence on the basis
of satisfactory grades received in courses which are the equivalent of
those required for entering Quarter 7 (see p. 157). Credit toward elec-
tives may be earned by means of the College Level Examination Pro-
gram (see p. 35).
GRADUATION REQUIREMENTS
Degrees
University College will award the degree of Bachelor of Science to
those who successfully complete the program of preparation for teach-
ing English at the secondary school level.
Quantitative Requirements
The required courses in the curriculum for the teaching of English are
listed on a following page. The curriculum requires not less than 173
quarter hours of class work, including one quarter of student teaching.
At least 45 quarter hours will be required in education, including stu-
dent teaching.
Elective Courses
Elective courses, approved by the College of Education adviser, will
be selected by the student from among courses in University College,
'One of the Basic (day) Colleges of Northeastern University.
156 / EDUCATION
or credit may be earned by means of the College Level Examination
Program.
Qualitative Requirements
Students in the Teacher Education Program in University College will
be expected to maintain an overall average of C while doing work of
C+ or better in the field of specialization and in the professional se-
quence in order to be recommended for placement. Students are
warned that any failure seriously handicaps their records and must be
made up at the earliest opportunity.
Graduation with Honor
Candidates of distinctly superior achievement in their academic work
will be graduated with honor. Upon special vote of the faculty a limited
number of this group may be graduated with high honor or with high-
est honor. Students must have been in attendance at the University at
least six quarters before they may become eligible for honors at grad-
uation.
National Teacher Examinations
All students who plan to make teaching their career will be expected
to take the general and special National Teacher Examinations in their
senior year.
Programs of Instruction
The teacher education program in University College offers an aca-
demic major in the field of English (in grades 7-12). A specimen pro-
gram is shown on the following page.
Accreditation
Northeastern University's College of Education is accredited by the
National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education. The College
is a member of the American Association of Colleges for Teacher
Education.

Equal Opportunity Policy
Northeastern University is committed to a policy of providing equal op-
portunity for all. In all matters involving admissions, registration, and all of-
ficial relationships with students, including evaluation of academic perfor-
mance, the University insists on a policy of nondiscrimination. Northeastern
University is also an equal opportunity employer; it is institutional policy that
there shall not be any discrimination against any employee or applicant for
employment because of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, or on
the basis of being a handicapped but otherwise qualified individual. In addi-
tion, Northeastern takes affirmative action in the recruitment of students
and employees. Inquiries concerning our equal opportunity policies may be
referred to the University Affirmative Action Officer and/or the Title IX coor-
dinator.
Delivery of Services
The University assumes no liability, and hereby expressly negates the
same, for failure to provide or delay in providing educational or related ser-
vices or facilities or for any other failure or delay in performance arising out
of or due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the University, which
causes include, without limitation, power failure, fire, strikes by University
employees or others, damage by the elements and acts of public
authorities. The University will, however, exert reasonable efforts, when in
its judgment it is appropriate to do so, to provide comparable or substan-
tially equivalent services, facilities or performance, but its inability or failure
to do so shall not subject it to liability.

the university
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is incorporated as a privately
endowed nonsectarian institution of higher learning under the General
Laws of Massachusetts. The State Legislature by special enactment has
given the University general degree-granting powers. The University is
governed by a Board of Trustees elected by and from the Northeastern
University Corporation, which is composed of 180 distinguished business
and professional men and women.
From its beginning, Northeastern University has had as its dominant pur-
pose the discovery of community educational needs and the meeting of
these in distinctive and serviceable ways. The University has not duplicated
the programs of other institutions, but has sought to pioneer new areas of
educational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University is its Cooperative Plan, in-
itiated by the College of Engineering in 1909 and subsequently adopted by
the Colleges of Business Administration (1922); Liberal Arts (1935); Educa-
tion (1953); Pharmacy (1962); Nursing (1964); Boston-Bouve College
(1964); the College of Criminal Justice (1967); and by Lincoln College's day
Bachelor of Engineering Technology Programs (1971). This educational
method enables students to gain valuable practical experience as an in-
tegral part of their college program and also provides the means by which
they may contribute substantially to the financing of their education. The
Plan has been extended to the graduate level in engineering, actuarial
science, rehabilitation administration, professional accounting, business
administration, and law.
In the field of adult education, programs of study have been developed to
meet a variety of needs. University College offers evening courses— offered
by the University since 1906— and adult-day courses leading to the
bachelor's degree. In addition to its day undergraduate programs in Elec-
trical Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology,
Lincoln College offers evening/part-time certificate, associate, and
bachelor degree programs in technological areas. All formal courses of
study leading to degrees through part-time programs are approved by the
Basic College faculties concerned.
GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS
The ten graduate and professional schools of the University offer day and evening
programs leading to the degrees listed:
The Graduate School of Actuarial Science offers the degree of Master of Science
in Actuarial Science.
17
18 /THE UNIVERSITY
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offers the degrees of Master of Arts,
Master of Science, Master of Science in Health Science, Master of Public Administra-
tion, and Doctor of Philosophy.
The Graduate School of Boston-Bouve College offers the degree of Master of
Science, with specialization in Physical Education and Recreation Education.
The Graduate School of Business Administration offers the degree of Master of
Business Administration.
The Graduate Program in Criminal Justice offers the degree of Master of Science.
The Graduate School of Education offers the degree of Master of Education and
Doctor of Education and the Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study.
The Graduate School of Engineering offers the degrees of Master of Science,
Engineer, Doctor of Philosophy, and Doctor of Engineering in Chemical Engineering.
The School of Law offers the degree of Juris Doctor.
The Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions offers the
degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of Philosophy.
The Graduate School of Professional Accounting offers the degree of Master of
Science in Accounting.
CENTER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Center for Continuing Education was established to relate the
University to the needs of its community in a period of accelerated change.
Its programs are composed of seminars, conferences, institutes, forums,
and a wide variety of special courses designed to serve specific needs. The
Division of Special Programs, working cooperatively with trade associations
and professional societies, offers a wide variety of programs dealing with
current needs and problems. Through its Division of Community Services,
working with governmental agencies and community organizations, the
Center is becoming increasingly involved in social problems on both the
local and national level.
Many of these programs are conducted at Henderson House, North-
eastern University's conference center in Weston, Massachusetts.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The facilities of the University are engaged in a wide variety of basic
research projects in business, science, social science, pharmacy, and
engineering. These are coordinated by the Dean of Research, whose ser-
vices are University-wide and available to the faculties of all the Colleges.
Although Northeastern is primarily concerned with undergraduate and
graduate instruction, the University believes that the most effective teaching
and learning take place in an environment characterized by research ac-
tivities directed toward extending the frontiers of knowledge.
buildings and facilities
MAIN CAMPUS
The main campus of Northeastern University is located at 360 Huntington
Avenue in the Back Bay section of Boston. Many of the city's famous
cultural, educational, and philanthropic institutions are situated in the Back
Bay, including the Museum of Fine Arts, Symphony Hall, Horticultural Hall,
the Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum, the Harvard teaching hospitals, the
Boston Public Library, and many schools and colleges. Most are within
walking distance of Northeastern University.
Major transportation facilities serving the Boston area are Logan Inter-
national Airport, two rail terminals, bus terminals serving inter- and in-
trastate lines, and MBTA subway-bus service within the metropolitan-
suburban area. There is a subway stop in front of the campus. For
motorists, the best routes to the campus are the Massachusetts Turnpike
(Exit 22) and Route 9, of which Huntington Avenue is the intown section.
The campus of 48 acres is divided by Huntington Avenue, with the main
educational buildings on one side and dormitories on the other. The prin-
cipal buildings, all of which have been constructed since 1938, are of glazed
brick in contemporary classic style. Most are interconnected by un-
derground passageways.
Libraries
The University library system consists of the Dodge Library, which is the
main library; the Suburban Campus Library at Burlington; the School of
Law Library; and three divisional libraries for Physics and Electrical
Engineering, Chemistry and Biology, and Mathematics and Psychology,
Physical and Recreation Education, and Physical Therapy. There are ad-
ditional subject collections for the Center of Management Development at
Andover, Massachusetts, and the Marine Science Institute at Nahant.
The library collections number 400,000 volumes supplemented by some
333,000 titles in microprint, microfilm, and microfiche forms. The collection
includes, in addition, some 3,700 periodical titles, 100,000 documents, and
4,600 sound recordings.
SUBURBAN FACILITIES
Suburban Campus
The Suburban Campus, located near the junction of Routes 128 and 3 in
Burlington, Massachusetts, was established to meet the needs of in-
dividuals and of industry in the area.
19
20 / BUILDINGS AND FACILITIES
In addition to graduate courses in engineering, business administration,
science, education, and the arts, portions of undergraduate programs
leading to the associate and bachelor's degrees, special programs for
adults, and noncredit state-of-the-art programs are offered.
Marine Science Institute
The Marine Science Institute at Nahant, Massachusetts, is a research and
instructional facility primarily engaged in studies of marine biology and
oceanography. The Institute is operated all year, and is about 20 miles
northeast of Boston. Many of the courses at the institute are applicable
toward an advanced degree in biology or health science.
Government Center Campus
With the cooperation of the Federal Executive Board, the Department of
Political Science offers an entire Master of Public Administration Program
at the John F. Kennedy Building in downtown Boston. This program is
primarily for individuals employed in federal, state, or local civil services.
Henderson House
The University's conference center, Henderson House, is located in
Weston, Massachusetts. The Center for Continuing Education conducts
short-term courses, seminars, and special institutes for business, profes-
sional, and research groups. Henderson House is 12 miles from the main
campus.
the graduate school
of arts and sciences
Thirty-five years ago the Department of Chemistry and the Department of
Physics inaugurated the first graduate programs at Northeastern. In the
succeeding years the creation of degree programs in other departments of
the College of Liberal Arts led to the formation of the graduate program of
arts and sciences in 1958 and finally the Graduate School of Arts and
Sciences in 1963. Ten departments now offer work at the graduate level.
The Master of Arts degree may be earned in economics, English, history,
political science, psychology, sociology, and social anthropology. The
Master of Science degree is available in biology, chemistry, clinical
chemistry, economic policy and planning, mathematics, and physics. The
Master of Science in Health Science and the Master of Public Administra-
tion degrees are also offered. In addition, there are programs leading to the
Doctor of Philosophy degree in biology, chemistry, economics,
mathematics, physics, psychology, and sociology.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
The general regulations of the graduate school that follow are minimal
requirements shared by the several degree programs. The student is ad-
vised to consult the appropriate departmental section for a statement of
specific requirements.
Application
All applicants should address inquiries to the Director of the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences. Initial correspondence directed elsewhere
may result in valuable time lost in initiating the admissions procedure.
Application forms and reference blanks will be mailed to the applicant. This
material, together with complete official transcripts, the Graduate Record
Examination scores when required, and the results of the Test of English as
a Foreign Language, required of all applicants whose native language is not
English, should be returned to the Director of the Graduate School of Arts
and Sciences. Applications for those desiring assistantships should be sub-
mitted no later than March 15; however, some departments have earlier
deadlines. Applications received after this date may not be given equal con-
sideration. All necessary supporting documents must be on file with the
graduate school office at least four weeks before the date of registration for
the quarter in which the student expects to begin his scholastic program.
For more detailed information see departmental requirements for admis-
sion.
21
22/ ARTS & SCIENCES
All applicants to the graduate school are strongly urged to take both the
aptitude and advanced portions of the Graduate Record Examination.
These tests are presently required in biology, English, history, mathematics,
psychology, and sociology and anthropology. Applicants for the M.A. in
Political Science are required to furnish scores only for the verbal and
quantitative aptitude tests. At present the Graduate Record Examination is
not required of M.P.A. applicants. At least two letters of recommendation
are required of all candidates. In biology, physics, political science (M.A.
and M.P.A.), psychology, and sociology and anthropology, three letters are
necessary. Candidates for financial awards should so indicate to those
supplying references.
Applications for the Graduate Record Examination can be obtained by
writing to:
Educational Testing Service
Box 955
Princeton, New Jersey 08540
Applications for the Test of English as a Foreign Language can be ob-
tained by writing to:
Educational Testing Service
Box 899
Princeton, New Jersey 08540
Admission
To be enrolled for graduate work, an applicant must submit a complete
official transcript indicating the award of a bachelor's degree from a
recognized institution and provide evidence that he is able to pursue
creditably a program of graduate study in his chosen field. His scholastic
record must therefore show distinction, and his undergraduate program
show breadth as well as adequate preparation in the field in which the
applicant expects to do advanced work. Admission to the graduate school
is for a specific academic quarter. Students who fail to attend must reapply
if they wish to do course work in a subsequent quarter. Acceptance to the
school is granted upon recommendation of the departmental graduate
committee after a review of the completed application. Foreign students
who do not receive a graduate award or whose award is insufficient to cover
all educational and living expenses must certify that they are able to meet
all their expenses while at Northeastern. A visa may not be granted without
such certification.
Student Classifications
Regular Student Those students admitted with a bachelor's degree show-
ing a high quality of previous work.
Provisional Student Students whose records do not qualify them for
enrollment as regular students. Provisional students must obtain a B

average in the first 12 quarter hours of study for continuation in the degree
program.
Special Student Students not matriculated in a degree program. Accep-
tance as a special student is in no way related to admission into a
departmental degree program. However, those special students subse-
quently admitted into a degree program may apply the first twelve quarter
hours of credit earned as a special student toward degree requirements.
Special students are expected to maintain a B average in the first 12
quarter hours of study.
Doctoral Student Students admitted to a doctoral program.
Doctoral Degree Candidate Doctoral students who have completed 40
quarter hours of acceptable graduate work and have passed the qualifying
examination.
Registration
Students must register within the dates and times listed on the school
calendar. The place of registration will be announced prior to each period.
Residence
All work for advanced degrees must be registered for and completed at
the University unless approval has been obtained from the director of the
graduate school for work taken elsewhere.
I Programs of Study
The study load for full-time students is usually four courses per quarter.
Part-time students are limited to two courses per quarter unless permission
to carry a heavier load is given by the departmental chairman or his
designate. Courses in most fields are offered both in the afternoon and
evening.
Grading System
The performance of students in graduate courses will be recorded by the
instructor by use of the following grades:
A Excellent
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the
course has been of very high graduate caliber.
B Satisfactory
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the
course has been at a satisfactory level.
C Fair
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the
course is not at the level expected in graduate work.
24 / ARTS & SCIENCES
F Failure
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the
course is unsatisfactory.
In addition, the following letter designations are used:
I Incomplete without quality designation.
This grade may be given to those students who fail to complete the
work of the course.
L Audit without credit.
S Satisfactory without quality designation.
U Unsatisfactory without quality designation.
An S or U grade is used for the first quarter of a two-quarter se-
quence in which the grade for the second quarter applies to both the
first and second quarters of the sequence.
The I grade will be changed to a letter grade when the deficiency which \
led to the I is made up to the satisfaction of and in the manner prescribed
by the instructor in the course, or, in his absence, by the chairman of the
department in which the grade is given. The period for clearing such a
grade will be restricted to one calendar year from the date of its first being
recorded on the student's permanent record.
Students must indicate their preference for auditing a course at registra-
tion. No credit will be given for the course. It will, however, appear on the
student's transcript. Registration changes from an audit to a graded status,
or vice versa, may only be made prior to the first day of classes.
Class Hours and Credits
All credits are entered as quarter hours. A quarter hour of credit is
equivalent to three-fourths of a semester hour credit.
Continuity of Program
Students are expected to maintain continuous progress toward a degree.
Any student who does not attend Northeastern for a period of one year
must apply for readmission.
Withdrawals
In order to withdraw from a course, a student must fill out an official
withdrawal form obtained at the Registrar's Office or at the Suburban Cam-
pus Office. Withdrawals may be made through the ninth week of the
quarter. Students will be withdrawn as of the date on which they fill out the
form. Ceasing to attend a class or notifying the instructor does not con-
stitute an official withdrawal.
Changes In Requirements
The continuing development of the graduate school forces frequent revi-
sion of curricula. In every new bulletin some improvements are indicated.
ARTS & SCIENCES / 25
When no hardship is imposed on the student because of changes, and
when the facilities of the school permit, the student is expected to meet the
requirements of the last bulletin. If the student finds it impossible to meet
these requirements, the bulletin for the year in which he entered becomes
the binding one.
Application for the Diploma
If a commencement card is not filed with the Registrar's Office on or
before the applicable date listed in the calendar, there is no assurance that
the degree will be granted in that particular year even though all other re-
quirements have been fulfilled.
THE MASTER'S DEGREE
Admission
Specific requirements for each degree program will be found in the ap-
propriate paragraphs for each department.
Academic Requirements
A candidate for the master's degree must complete a minimum of 40
quarter hours of correlated work of graduate caliber and such other study
as may be required by the department in which he is registered.
During the first half of the total number of hours of course work required
for the degree, the candidate will be expected to maintain a minimum quali-
ty point average of 2.5. At the completion of three-fourths of the total
number of hours of course work required for the degree, the candidate will
be expected to have a quality point average of 2.8. To qualify for the
degree, a final average of 3.0, equivalent to a grade of B, must be obtained.
This average will be calculated quarterly by the graduate school on the
basis of A=4, B=3, C=2, and F=0 and will exclude any transfer credits.
Not more than six quarter hours of repeated courses, additional courses,
or permanent I's may be allowed in order to satisfy the requirements for the
degree.
Within the above limitations, a required course for which a grade of F is
received must be repeated with a grade of C or better, and may be
repeated only once. If a grade of F is received in an elective course, that
course may be repeated once to obtain a grade of C or better, or another
elective course may be substituted for it. If a grade of C is received in a re-
quired course, that course may be repeated once to obtain a grade of B or
better.
Comprehensive Examination
A final written or oral comprehensive examination may be required. This
26/ ARTS & SCIENCES
examination will be given at least two weeks before the commencement at
which the degree is expected.
Thesis
A thesis must show independent work based on original material, be ap-
proved by the department graduate committee, and in cases where a
department requires a grade, must receive a grade of B or better to be
accepted.
Language Requirement
An examination to show evidence of ability in one or more foreign
languages is required in some graduate programs. This knowledge is es-
tablished by an examination which will be administered by the graduate
school at least twice yearly.
Transfer Credit
A maximum of 12 quarter hours of credit obtained at another institution
may be accepted toward the master's degree provided that the credits
transferred consist of A or B grades in graduate level courses, be in the
candidate's field, have been earned at a recognized institution, and have
not been used toward any other degree. Students should petition the direc-
tor of the graduate school in writing for all transfer credit. Transfer credit
grades may not be used for the purpose of obtaining the academic average
necessary for the completion of the degree requirements.
Time Limitation
Course credits earned in the program of graduate study, or accepted by
transfer, are valid for a maximum of seven years unless an extension is
granted by the Committee of the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
THE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE
The Doctor of Philosophy degree is awarded to candidates who give
evidence of high attainment and research ability in their major field. The
degree requirements are administered by committees in charge of each
degree program. These committees may be departmental graduate com-
mittees or the committee of the graduate school depending upon the nature
of the program. It is the responsibility of the chairman of the committee to
certify to the Graduate School Office the completion of each requirement
for each candidate.
Admission
Each degree program has an established admission procedure for
students starting their doctoral work at Northeastern University.
ARTS & SCIENCES/ 27
Residence Requirement
Candidates for the Doctor of Philosophy degree must spend the
equivalent of at least one academic year in residence at the University as a
full-time graduate student. The committee of each degree program
specifies the method by which the residence requirement is satisfied.
Qualifying Examination
Students must pass a qualifying examination within time limits set by the
committee of each degree program.
Comprehensive Examination
Degree programs may require a comprehensive examination during the
time in which a student is a degree candidate.
Course Requirements
The minimum course requirement of 40 quarter hours constitutes the
work normally required for a master's degree. The course requirements
beyond this in each doctoral program are specified by the committee in
charge of the doctoral program.
Dissertation
Each doctoral student must complete a dissertation which embodies the
results of extended research and makes an original contribution to the field.
This work should give evidence of the candidate's ability to carry out in-
dependent investigation and interpret in a logical manner the results of the
research. The method of approval of the dissertation is established by the
committee in charge of the degree program.
Language Requirement
The foreign language requirement is established by the committee in
charge of each degree program.
Final Oral Examination
The final oral examination will be on the subject matter of the doctoral
dissertation and significant developments in the field of the dissertation.
Other fields may be included if recommended by the examining committee.
This examination will be taken after completion of all other requirements
of the degree and must be held at least two weeks prior to the com-
mencement at which the degree is to be awarded.
Transfer Credit
Approval for transfer credit may be given by the committee in charge of
the degree program.
28/ ARTS & SCIENCES
Time Limitation
After the establishment of degree candidacy, a maximum of five years
will be allowed for the completion of the degree requirements.
Registration
All students must register for course work or dissertation as approved by
their advisers or the departmental registration officer. After the first
registration for doctoral work, registration must be continuous unless
withdrawal is allowed by the committee in charge of the degree program.
Students must be registered for dissertation during the quarter in which
they take the final oral examination.
INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS
Some graduate students may wish to pursue doctoral programs which
involve substantial work in two or more departments. To meet this need, an
interdisciplinary program may be established which corresponds in scope
and depth to doctoral standards, but does not agree exactly with the in-
dividual departmental regulations. For such possibilities, the following op-
tion is available:
Admission
Application for admission to interdisciplinary doctoral study consists of
the submission of a carefully thought-out written proposal describing the
areas of proposed study and research. The proposal may be a part of the
initial application for admission to graduate study at Northeastern Universi-
ty, or it may be submitted by a student already enrolled. It may be directed
to a doctoral degree-granting department or to the director of the graduate
school who forwards it to the appropriate department. In either case, ad-
mission to interdisciplinary doctoral study requires favorable recommenda-
tion by the sponsoring doctoral degree-granting department and approval
by authorized representatives of the graduate study committees of the
departments appropriate to the disciplines covered by the applicant's
proposal. The sponsoring department becomes the registration base of the
student.
Formation of Interdisciplinary Committee
A student who has been accepted for interdisciplinary study must obtain
the consent of an adviser who will direct his doctoral dissertation. This ad-
viser, who may or may not be a member of the registration department, will
be chairman of the interdisciplinary committee for this student. A second
member will be appointed from the registration department by its chair-
man. These two members will obtain one or more additional members or
request the director of the graduate school to do so. At least two
departments must be represented on the committee and a majority of the
ARTS & SCIENCES / 29
committee must come from doctoral degree-granting departments. The
chairman of the registration department will notify the director of the
graduate school of the membership of the committees as soon as
arrangements are complete.
Duties of Interdisciplinary Committee
A member of the interdisciplinary committee who is also a member of the
registration department will serve as the registration officer to approve the
course registration for the student. A copy of the approved course registra-
tion must also be filed with the other committee members and with the
graduate study committee of the registration department.
The interdisciplinary committee will be responsible for the administration
of the qualifying examination, language examination, approval of the dis-
sertation, and comprehensive examination. This committee must also cer-
tify to the registration department the completion of the requirements for
the award of the doctoral degree.
The interdisciplinary committee must assure that the program of the stu-
dent represents standards comparable to those of the registration depart-
ment and that the program is not so broad that it has inadequate depth in
any area.
The program of the student may be reviewed at any time by the director
of the graduate school to determine whether objectives of the program are
being met.

FINANCIAL AID
Northeastern University has available fellowships and assistantships for
full-time students who are working toward the master's or doctor's degree.
Candidacy for these awards may be established by completing the relevant
section of the application for admission. Those students already enrolled
should consult their departmental adviser.
Teaching Assistantships
Teaching assistantships allowing remission of tuition and a stipend are
available in all departments. Holders of such awards devote half time to
academic assistance directly related to the teaching function and the
balance to course work.
Graduate Administrative Assistantships
Some University departments offer the graduate student an opportunity
for remission of tuition and a stipend in return for half time spent in
assisting with nonteaching, administrative duties.
Tuition Assistantships
Many departments provide remission of tuition to full-time students
assisting eight hours a week in the administrative work of the department.
These awards are normally given to students in the first year of graduate
work.
Research Fellowships
A number of departments offer research fellowships including N.I.H.,
N.S.F., and N.D.E.A. carrying a stipend and remitting tuition. Certain of
these grants require half-time work on research in the department, with the
remaining time devoted to course work. Others provide for full-time work
on research used for a thesis or dissertation.
I Martin Luther King, Jr., Scholarships
A limited number of full- and part-time Martin Luther King, Jr.,
' Fellowships are available. These scholarships provide for remission of tui-
32 / FINANCIAL INFORMATION
tion and all fees, and are awarded to qualified black students on the basis
of financial need. Additional information and application forms are available
from the Office of Financial Aid.
Robert A. Feer Scholarship
This scholarship is awarded yearly to the outstanding candidate for the
Master of Arts degree in History. The scholarship was established in
memory of Professor Robert A. Feer who was a member of the Department
of History from 1963 to 1970.
Appointments
Appointments to fellowships and assistantships are ordinarily announced
no later than April 15 for the following academic year or summer. Ap-
pointments are for a maximum of three quarters and are not automatically
renewed. Students who hold assistantships and research fellowships are
expected to devote full time to their studies and the duties of the award.
They may not accept outside employment without the consent of their facul-
ty adviser and the director of the graduate school.
Acceptance Conditions
Northeastern University, which is a member of the Council of Graduate
Schools of the United States, subscribes to the following resolution of the
Council:
Acceptance of an offer of financial aid (such as a graduate scholarship,
fellowship, traineeship, or assistantship) for the next academic year by an
actual or prospective graduate student completes an agreement which both
student and graduate school expect to honor. In those instances in which
the student accepts the offer before April 15 and subsequently desires to
withdraw, the student may submit in writing a resignation of the appoint-
ment at any time through April 15. However, an acceptance given or left in
force after April 15 commits the student not to accept another offer without
first obtaining a written release from the institution to which a commitment
has been made. Similarly, an offer by an institution after April 15 is con-
ditional on presentation by the student of the written release from any
previously accepted offer.
Dormitory Proctorships
A number of proctorships for men in dormitories on or near the Hun-
tington Avenue campus are available each year. Appointments carry a
minimum compensation of room and board. Further information and
application forms may be obtained from the Office of University Housing.
National Direct Student Loan
This program is available to students who are carrying at least one-half
FINANCIAL INFORMATION / 33
the normal academic work load, are accepted as degree candidates, and
who show evidence of financial need.
The Federal maximum which a graduate student may borrow while pur-
suing a post- baccalaureate degree is $5,000.
Repayment and interest on these loans do not begin until nine months
after the student ceases to carry at least a half-time academic load at an in-
stitution of higher education. The repayment of principal may be extended
over a 10-year period with the interest at the rate of three percent per an-
num. Repayment may be deferred up to a total of three years while a
borrower is serving as a Peace Corps or VISTA volunteer.
Guaranteed Student Loan Program
Under this program, students who are matriculated degree candidates,
enrolled for at least one-half the normal academic work load, may borrow
from a participating bank or other financial institution. Terms and con-
ditions vary from state to state, but a student generally may borrow up to
$1,500 a year (the law allows a maximum of $2,500 per year) depending on
financial need. The Federal government pays the interest while the student
is in school if the student is eligible for interest subsidy.
The student must have submitted, through the College Scholarship Ser-
vice, a Parents' Confidential Statement; or if he has been declared financial-
ly independent by the Financial Aid Office, a Students' Confidential State-
ment. These forms are available from local banks or the Education Office of
your state government. Additional information and necessary application
forms for Massachusetts residents are available from the Financial Aid Of-
fice.
The federal aid programs listed above are available to citizens and per-
manent residents of the United States.
I fields of study

THE MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE
Full-Time Program
THE MASTER OF SCIENCE IN HEALTH SCIENCE DEGREE
Part-Time Program
Admission
In addition to the requirements listed on page 22 applicants should have
a background which includes one year each of organic chemistry, physics
and mathematics, and the six quarter courses of the biology under-
graduate core curriculum or their equivalents. Students admitted with
deficiencies should remove them during the first 20 quarter hours of
graduate work.
Program
Forty-six quarter hours of academic work are required. A candidate for
either degree is expected to take forty hours of course work including four
hours of seminar. Transfer credits will be accepted only from those schools
offering graduate programs in biology. Application for such credit should
be made in writing to the Graduate Director of the respective program dur-
ing the first quarter following the student's assignment to an academic ad-
viser. Other limitations on transfer credit are listed on page 27. Graduate
courses in departments other than Biology will be accepted for credit up to
a limit of 12 quarter hours, including those credits previously accepted as
transfer credits, upon written recommendation from the student's adviser to
34
BIOLOGY/ 35
the graduate director for final approval.
During his tenure, in addition to the above course requirements, each
student pursuing work toward the master of science in Biology must enroll
i for a minimum of six credits of work in 18.990, Special Topics in Biology, or
18.991, Research for the Master of Science degree. After initial election of
either 18.990 or 18.991 the student must register for either of these courses
I for each quarter until the work is completed. Work in 18.990, Special Topics
in Biology, is pursued under the supervision of an individual faculty
member, by mutual agreement. It may take the form of a comprehensive,
critical review of the literature in a specialized area and/or a specific
I program of experimental work on a single topic. If experimental work has
I been elected under 18.990 it may later be expanded, with permission of the
department graduate committee, into a master's thesis with a topic and ad-
viser and a committee of three members approved by the departmental
graduate committee. Grades in 18.990 or 18.991 are recorded as "Satisfac-
tory" (or "Unsatisfactory") until all work is completed, culminating in either a
comprehensive, well-written report — which must be reviewed by the
department graduate committee — or a thesis. For the latter a final oral ex-
amination on the thesis is required. The department encourages the pursuit
of a thesis wherever feasible.
The program leading to the Master of Science in Health Science degree
is designed for part-time students who may progress according to their
abilities, the time available, and the need or desire to extend their education
into interdisciplinary work involving biology or allied areas such as the
health sciences. Students may elect to substitute six quarter hours of
course work credit for the required 18.990, Special Topics in Biology or
18.991, M.S. Thesis. Those students electing the course option must take a
comprehensive examination in the last six-month period of their program,
similar to that required of non-thesis students in the M.S. in Biology degree.
If their schedules permit, students in the M.S. in Health Science program
may carry out their work on a full-time basis.
THE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY PROGRAM
I Admission
Applicants who will have a master's degree or its equivalent at entry may
be considered for direct admission to the doctoral program. Those who will
not may be considered only after admission to the master's program, and,
after satisfactory completion of 30 quarter hours of graduate study, may
then be considered for admission to the doctoral program. In addition, a
student must present evidence of the willingness of a faculty member of the
graduate faculty to serve as the Ph.D. thesis adviser.
F Residence Requirement
After admittance to the doctoral program, the student may satisfy the
i residence requirement by one year of full-time graduate work or by two
36/ BIOLOGY
years of half-time graduate work. However, a student should expect to
spend at least two years or the equivalent in full-time study.
Degree Candidacy
Degree candidacy is established in accordance with the general graduate
school regulations.
Qualifying Examination
Students entering the doctoral program will be expected to have had the
equivalent of an M.S. degree at Northeastern before taking their qualifying
examination. Students who have been accepted into the doctoral program
must take their qualifying examination by the end of three quarters at
Northeastern University. The student will be expected to demonstrate an
advanced knowledge of biological concepts. The examination will be oral,
given by a standing committee, and last approximately two hours. Eligibility
to continue in the program toward the Doctor of Philosophy degree is con-
tingent upon satisfactory performance on the qualifying examination.
Comprehensive Examination
The comprehensive examination requirement will be fulfilled by two
written examinations, one in the major area of specialization and the other
in closely related areas. The candidate may apply through his adviser after
completing the foreign language requirement and at least one quarter prior
to the oral examination.
Course Requirements
After the establishment of candidacy, any further course requirements
will be established by the dissertation adviser and approved by the
departmental graduate committee.
Dissertation
Arrangements for a dissertation adviser are made at the time of admit-
tance into the Ph.D. program. Research for the Ph.D. is performed under
the guidance of the dissertation adviser. The adviser also serves as the
chairperson of the doctoral committee which must consist of at least 5
members. The research proposal and the doctoral committee must be ap-
proved by the Department Graduate Committee. The doctoral committee
must approve the dissertation before the degree may be conferred.
Language Requirement
Ability to read and translate biological literature in one foreign language
must be established by the candidate. In order to maximize the usefulness
of this language as a tool of research, the student should take the language
BIOLOGY/ 37
examination as early as possible. The examination will be administered by
the Department of Biology, or in certain cases, by the Modern Language
Department. French, German, and Russian are the three most important
foreign languages for the biologist. Students will be expected to choose one
of these languages for their examination, but another language may be sub-
stituted where there is significant literature in the area of interest.
Tool of Research
A tool of research is required in addition to the above language. This re-
quirement may be fulfilled through either passing a second foreign
language examination in a language in which there is significant literature,
or completion of a program in the general principles of statistics, biometry,
and/or computer programming.
Final Oral Examination
This examination will be held in accordance with the general regulations
of the graduate school.
INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS
Admission
Application and credentials for admission to interdisciplinary programs
involving the Biology Department, where this department is clearly the
department of registry, as described under "General Regulations," should
be submitted as described under the heading of "Admission" in the section
"The Doctor of Philosophy Program" for biology. The interdisciplinary com-
mittee will consist of at least five members. The composition of this com-
mittee will be determined by mutual consent between the departments in-
volved, but will have at least three members from the Biology Department if
the dissertation adviser is from this department. Upon admission, suitable
interdisciplinary course requirements will be determined by the inter-
disciplinary committee.
Qualifying Examination
Students accepted into the program will normally be expected to com-
plete the qualifying examination by the end of three quarters at North-
eastern University. At least five areas of study will be covered by the qualify-
ing examination, at least three of which will be oral examinations chosen by
the candidate from the following areas: biochemistry, botany, ecology,
genetics, microbiology, physiology, apd zoology. The remaining com-
ponents of the examination will be specified and evaluated by the other par-
ticipating department. With the exceptions of the procedures for admission
and examinations for qualification, the remaining requirements, and
procedures are as specified under "The Doctor of Philosophy Program" for
biology.

must have completed not less than four full-year chemistry courses of the
level required of an undergraduate major in chemistry. These must include
organic, physical, and analytical chemistry. Admission policy favors those
who have taken more chemistry than these minima. In addition, one year
each of college physics and calculus are required, and further work in these
subjects is desirable.
These admission requirements may be modified to accommodate
applicants who have taken fewer courses than indicated above, but who
have outstanding records and a strong interest in chemical or inter-
disciplinary studies. See also the description of interdisciplinary programs.
DEGREE REQUIREMENTS
Part-Time Program Leading to M.S. Degree
This program consists of a total of 40 quarter hours of credit in graduate
course work, of which 32 credits must be taken in chemistry graduate
courses numbered between 12.821 and 12.899. Eight additional credits
may be taken in any graduate courses for which the student has the
necessary prerequisites. The student's program must include the following
core courses in the four areas of chemistry:
45
46 / CHEMISTRY

and 1 2.862 sequence or the 1 2.864 and 1 2.865 sequence.
(d) Four credits of physical chemistry. These may be either the 12.881
and 12.882 sequence or the 12.885 and 12.886 sequence. Note that
12.881 and 12.885, by themselves, are riot sufficient.
In cases of unusual preparation, more advanced courses may be sub-
stituted within the given subdiscipline.
Full-Time Program
Master's Degree
The normal full-time program consists of a total of 40 quarter hours of
graduate credit in courses, seminars, research, and a thesis based on this
research. Each student is required to take at least 24 quarter hours of credit
in graduate chemistry courses numbered between 12.821 and 12.899. Up to
4 quarter hours of graduate courses in physics or mathematics may be sub-
stituted. At least one two-quarter sequence of courses must be taken in
three out of the four areas of chemistry. These sequences would normally
be chosen from the following core courses:
(a) Analytical Chemistry — 12.821 and 12.831 or 12.823 and 12.833.
(b) Inorganic Chemistry — 12.841 and 12.842
(c) Organic Chemistry — 12.861 and 12.862
(d) Physical Chemistry — 1 2.881 and 1 2.882 or 1 2.885 and 1 2.886.

be assigned to 12.991, Research and Thesis for the Master of Science
degree. Each student is required to attend 12.990, Seminar, in each term.
One credit is assigned to a student for each term in which he conducts a
seminar, up to the maximum of 2 credits.
DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE
The doctoral program in chemistry may be pursued only in residence. The
additional requirements beyond those of the master's degree are designed
to demonstrate superior proficiency in original research, including technical
reading ability in a foreign language and familiarity with current advances in
one of the main divisions of chemistry.
Residence Requirement
The residence requirement is satisfied after one year of full-time
CHEMISTRY/ 47
graduate work or two years of half-time work. If a student holds a teaching
assistantship which occupies one half of his time, his residence require-
ment is being discharged at half rate. Other arrangements require faculty
approval. If a candidate has a research fellowship which supports his
research for the doctoral dissertation, his residence requirement is dis-
charged at full rate. Normally, the equivalent of two years of work after es-
tablishment of doctoral candidacy is necessary to complete research.
Degree Candidacy
Degree candidacy is established in accordance with the general graduate
school regulations.
Qualifying Examination
Qualifying examinations are offered in the fields of analytical, inorganic,
organic, and physical chemistry. There are eight examinations offered each
year in each field. A student must pass four of these.
A student is eligible to take the qualifying examination if:
(a) he has entered with a bachelor's degree and has achieved a 3.0
average in eight courses taken in the first year of residence. Two of
the eight graduate courses may be in physics or mathematics, the
remaining courses must be numbered between 12.821 and 12.899;
(b) he has been admitted to the doctoral program with an awarded
master's degree;
(c) he is a part-time student who has petitioned the department after
having completed at least sixteen credits of graduate courses which
include fulfillment of three of the four distributional requirements
listed for the part-time program. A 3.0 average is required for all
courses taken.
Students in category "a" must pass the qualifying examinations by July 1
of their second year of residence. Students in category "b" must pass the
qualifying examinations by July 1 of their first year of residence. Students in
category "c" will have the conditions set at the time their petition is ap-
proved.
Course Requirements
A candidate is normally required by bis faculty adviser to do some course
work beyond the 40 quarter hour minimum. The number and nature of
these courses are individually determined for each candidate.
Dissertation
In most cases, arrangements for a dissertation adviser will have been
made before the completion of the qualifying examination. If not, such
48 /CHEMISTRY
arrangements must be made as soon as possible after degree candidacy
has been established. The dissertation adviser directs the research for the
dissertation and serves as chairman of the dissertation committee, which
must approve the dissertation before the degree may be conferred.
Language Requirements
Proficiency must be demonstrated in a foreign language as specified by
the departmental graduate committee in accordance with the general
graduate school regulations. French, German, and Russian are the accep-
table foreign languages. Normally, proficiency is demonstrated by taking
examinations administered by the Chemistry Department.
Final Oral Examination
This examination will be held in accordance with the graduate school
regulations.

THE MASTER'S DEGREE
The Department of English offers a program leading to the M.A. degree.
The courses emphasize training in research and criticism in the fields of
English and American literature, and they provide the student the com-
prehensive background necessary for a career as a scholar, teacher, and
writer.
Admission
Applicants are judged favorably if they do superior work in their un-
dergraduate preparation and do significantly better than average in the ver-
bal and advanced sections of the Graduate Record Examination, the scores
of which are required before an application will be considered. An applicant
is expected to have had at least 24 semester credits in English courses on a
4 point scale. Recommendations should be submitted by former English
professors. An applicant who is deficient in any one of these areas may be
admitted as a provisional student.
The category of special student is provided for those nondegree students
who wish to take a summer course or those already enrolled in a graduate
program in another institution who wish to transfer credit. A holder of a
graduate degree in English may also enroll as a special student.
73
74 /ENGLISH
Program
Forty-two quarter hours of academic work are required. The course work
must include 30.8A1, Bibliography and Literary Historiography, which
should be taken as soon as the student enters the program. Required also
are three hours from courses in Group II; three hours from courses in
Group III; and three hours from courses in Group IV; three hours from
courses in Group V (or their equivalents among the seminars); and fifteen
hours in designated seminars, which are limited in enrollment to twelve
students. The remaining twelve hours may be elected from any courses in
the program.
Transfer Credit
A student may transfer from another institution no more than 12 quarter
hours (9 semester hours) of graduate credit in English. Within this limit,
graduate courses in other fields may also be transferred if their relevance to
the student's specialized interest can be demonstrated. In every case, a
petition for graduate credit must be sent to the Director of the Graduate
School of Arts and Sciences with a copy of an official transcript.
Thesis
A thesis is optional. A student wishing to write a master's paper must
secure the approval of a graduate faculty member and write the thesis un-
der the supervision of his adviser. Six credits in lieu of course work are
allowed. The student must enroll in 30.9Z1, Thesis, to obtain credit. Papers
must conform to the guidelines laid down in the MLA Style Sheet.
Comprehensive Examination
A four-hour comprehensive examination is required. It will be given dur-
ing the Fall and Spring Quarters. Copies of previous examinations are
available in the graduate director's office. A student must accrue 30 quarter
hours of credit before he is eligible to take the examination. The examina-
tion may be taken only twice. As an option, students may choose an oral ex-
amination in lieu of the written comprehensive. This must be arranged with
the graduate director.
Language Requirement
Normally a degree candidate must pass a reading examination in French
or German or Latin. Substitutions must have the approval of the graduate
director. Exemption from the examination may be obtained by submitting
evidence of having passed with at least a grade of C an advanced under-
graduate language course carrying six semester credits or eight quarter
credits. The examinations will be offered during the Fall and Spring
quarters.

PROGRAM OF ADVANCED LITERARY STUDY
The Department of English offers a program of advanced work in
humanistic literary study for those people who already hold the Master's
degree. Neither an intermediate step toward a research-oriented Ph.D. nor
instruction in pedagogy, the program is designed as "state of the art" train-
ing in literary studies. The program is directed toward practitioners in the
field as well as those for whom continuing literary study is an end in itself.
The program is designed for both full-time and part-time study. Financial
aid is available.
Admission
Applicants must have a Master's degree and are expected to submit
transcripts of undergraduate and graduate work.
Program
Each student will follow an individualized coherent course of study built
around his or her own needs and designed in close association with a facul-
ty advisor. The student will develop the outline of this program by the end of
the first quarter of work at Northeastern and follow the program, under the
supervision of the advisor, throughout his or her work at Northeastern.
Forty-two quarter hours of work are needed to complete the program. With
permission of the advisor, the student may take up to three graduate
courses in any other department.
Examination
The student must pass an individual comprehensive examination based
upon his or her own program of study. The examination will include the
evaluation of a lecture/classroom presentation.

THE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE
Admission
Students who have completed the first year of the full-time master's
degree program or who have obtained a master's degree at another institu-
tion are eligible for admission to the doctoral program. Students who wish
to earn the doctor's degree should inform the chairman of the graduate
committee of their desire to be doctoral candidates. Those who have been
accepted as doctoral candidates will remain in that category as long as their
progress is deemed satisfactory.
Residence Requirement
The residence requirement is satisfied by one year of full-time graduate
work.
Degree Candidacy
Degree candidacy is established in accordance with the general graduate
school regulations.
Course Requirements
The course requirements, in addition to the minimum master's degree
requirements of 40 quarter hours of credit, are established by the
departmental graduate committee for each candidate. In most cases, 40
quarter hours of additional work will be required.
Independent Work
Before starting their dissertation, doctoral students may be required to
do some kind of independent project, possibly, but not necessarily, in con-
junction with departmental seminars or courses. The aim of the project is to
start students on independent work and to give them a practical way to
learn research techniques. Students should, with the help of their advisers,
choose a topic they want to investigate. In studying it, students should read
texts and journal articles and learn what to read and what not to read. In ad-
dition, they should try to solve problems, compute examples, modify
proofs, and see whether or not the known results can be extended.
Students should report on their work either in seminars or by giving a
special lecture or writing up a short paper.
Minor Specialty
Each doctoral candidate will select some specific mathematical subject
of an advanced nature, which must be reasonably unrelated to the topic of
the student's dissertation. By means of reading, lecture courses, and/or
seminars, the student should render work in this area equivalent to a good
part of one full year's course work. Approval of the area and the plan of
work should be obtained in advance from the Ph.D. committee.
94 / MATHEMATICS
Language Requirements
Ability to read and translate mathematical texts and journals in two
foreign languages must be established by each candidate. The languages
may be chosen from French, German, and Russian; any other choice re-
quires special approval. The students should notify the chairman of the
departmental graduate committee when they are prepared to be examined
on each language. At least one language examination must be passed
before beginning work on the dissertation. The examinations are conducted
by members of the faculty of the mathematics department.
Teaching Requirement
Some teaching experience is required. This requirement may be satisfied
by at least one year of service as a teaching assistant or by suitable
teaching duties.
Dissertation
After the successful completion of their independent work when re-
quired, students shall select a dissertation adviser under whose guidance
they will write their doctoral dissertation. They may be assisted by the
departmental graduate committee in that selection if they wish it. The dis-
sertation itself must represent an original solution of a problem in the
chosen area of mathematics which makes some contribution to
mathematical knowledge.
Final Oral Examination
This examination on the dissertation will be held in accordance with the
graduate school regulations.

Qualifying Examination
The qualifying examination consists of a written and an oral part. The
written examination covers the material in the required courses for the
Ph.D. program. This examination is given twice a year, once in September
and once in February. A student must take this examination during the next
Fall Quarter following the quarter in which he became eligible to take it. If
the examination is failed, it may be repeated for the second and last time on
the next occasion it is given.
Residence Requirement
After a student has completed the required 63 q.h. (60 q.h. for students
exempted from 11.820) of course work and has passed his qualifying ex-
amination, he becomes a doctoral degree candidate and must satisfy the
residence requirement by one year of full-time graduate work.
Teaching Requirement
Some teaching experience is required. This requirement may be satisfied
by at least one year of service as a teaching assistant or by suitable
teaching duties.
Dissertation
The student should arrange for a dissertation adviser by the time he
wishes to take the oral part of the qualifying examination. An outline of the
dissertation must be approved by the departmental graduate committee at
least eight months before the final dissertation examination (see below).
The student may choose his field of research according to one of the
following options:
a) In one of the research areas in the department, under direct supervi-
sion of his adviser.
b) In one of the other research areas of the University, under the direct
supervision of a researcher in that field. In that case, a joint committee
including his direct supervisor, his departmental adviser, and one
other member of the department will constitute his thesis committee.
c) In an area of applied research in one of the industries or non-profit in-
stitutions associated with the department's Industrial Ph.D. Program.
His direct supervisor will be an employee of the institution where their
research is done (and will have been accredited by the physics
department); the rest of the thesis committee will be as in option (b)
above.
Final Dissertation Examination
This examination will be held in accordance with the graduate
school regulations.

THE PROGRAM OF GRADUATE STUDIES
The Department of Psychology offers a full-time program of graduate
studies and research in experimental psychology leading to the Ph.D.
degree. Applicants are considered only for the doctoral program; the M.A.
is granted in the course of progress toward the Ph.D. Since the Ph.D.
degree is awarded in experimental psychology, research accomplishment
forms an essential and integral part of the doctoral program; students may
expect to collaborate with faculty in conducting research in one or more of
the following areas: learning and behavioral analysis; sensation and
perception; neuropsychology; language and cognition; personality and
social psychology.
Desirable experience includes laboratory courses in psychology and
allied sciences as well as courses in mathematics. Applications should be
filed by March 1, complete with official transcripts, three letters of
recommendation, and scores on the Graduate Record Examination and the
Miller Analogies Test.
Research assistantships and teaching assistantships carry a stipend of
$3,000 for the first year, $3,000 for the second year, and $3,300 for the third
year, with remission of tuition. In addition, some positions are available in
research and teaching during the summer. The department aims to support
all graduate students requesting financial aid.
The first year of the graduate program is uniform for all students. It in-
cludes a proseminar in experimental psychology, a course in quantitative
methods, and a seminar in instrumentation. In addition, all students choose
126
PSYCHOLOGY/ 127
a research advisor and take an active part in one of the current research
projects. Detailed descriptions of the current research projects are con-
tained in the brochure, "Research in Psychology at Northeastern," available
on request.
At the end of the academic year, each student's readiness for the doc-
toral program is determined on the basis of her or his performance in the
two seminars and a written examination in the quantitative methods course.
Equal emphasis is placed on the quality of laboratory research during the
first year.
After that year, the structure of the doctoral program is very flexible and
assumes that the process of learning and scientific discovery must be in-
dividualized. A wide variety of advanced seminars and courses is offered.
Colloquia and in-house seminars bring students and faculty together to dis-
cuss ongoing research, often with visiting scholars from other institutions.
Most important, students pursue their research projects under the expert
guidance of their advisors. The advisors and projects available to students
vary from year to year. Potential applicants are encouraged to visit the
department in order to discuss their interests with the faculty and to
observe the program and facilities first-hand.

Admission
The general procedures and requirements are set forth on page 22.
Students will normally be admitted to begin their graduate work in the Fall
Quarter only. Applications received after March 15 will usually not be con-
sidered. Each application will be reviewed on its own merits. Any questions
concerning the adequacy of the undergraduate background in sociology or
anthropology will be considered individually. In some cases, students may
be asked to make up certain deficiencies before proceeding to the basic
requirements. Exceptions will be made with respect to procedural or sub-
stantive requirements on an individual basis if the circumstances seem suf-
ficiently compelling.
In addition to examining the catalog and course offerings, all prospective
candidates are urged to learn something about the scholarly interests and
writings of our faculty and to talk with graduate students now in residence
to ascertain whether or not we have something to offer in terms of their
capabilities, needs, and interests.
NB. Some of the requirements listed below for both the M.A. and Ph.D. will
undoubtedly have been modified. Please check with the department
and/or the graduate school for the most recent information. This applies
also to course offerings.
THE MASTER'S DEGREE
The department offers graduate programs that lead to a master of arts
degree in sociology or social anthropology. Forty-two quarter hours of B or
better academic work are required for the degree. Certain advanced un-
131
132 / SOCIOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY
dergraduate courses offered by the department may be taken for graduate
credit with the approval of the department. Students must maintain a better
than B average.
In general, students are encouraged to fashion a program of studies best
suited to their needs and capabilities instead of following any single set of
rigid requirements. To this end, all entering students should consult with
the faculty adviser assigned to them, and other faculty members if possible,
before registering for courses.
For the Master of Arts in Sociology, students are generally required to
take two quarter courses in theory (usually 21.805, and 21.806) and two in
methodology (usually 21.810 and either 21.811 or 21.916). The statistics
requirement may be satisfied by achieving at least a B in 21.813 or its
equivalent. All students are strongly advised to take some work in social
anthropology.
For the Master of Arts in Sociology with an emphasis in Social
Anthropology, students are generally required to take two quarter courses
in theory (usually 20.805 and 20.802) and methodology. Other requirements
will be individually determined. All students are strongly advised to take
some work in sociology.
Students who can demonstrate proficiency in any of the requirements
need not take those particular courses, and should petition the graduate
committee for an opportunity to demonstrate proficiency.
A master's paper is required and earns four quarter hours of credit. This
paper may be based on empirical or library research, and must be of
publishable quality. It is expected that the full-time student will complete his
master's paper no later than the end of his second year. Students planning
to go on for the Ph.D. are urged to take the qualifying examination during
their second year of residence as the results will be a major determining
factor in deciding whether to encourage the student to try to go on or not.
Deadlines for Submission of Master's Paper
A student must have substantially finished his master's paper as certified
by his first reader on or before April 1 of the year in which he expects to be
awarded the degree. Those who miss the April 1st deadline will normally
have to wait until the subsequent fall quarter, and should not expect that a
defense can be set up much before November 1st of that quarter.
THE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE
The department offers the Ph.D. in sociology. A limited number of
students will be enrolled in the Ph.D. program so as to provide highly per-
sonalized study and research training with individual supervision.
Admission
Applicants to the doctoral program should apply for admission not later
than March fifteenth of the year in which they expect to complete the re-
quirements for the master's degree.
SOCIOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY / 133
Students seeking admission whose master's degree is not in sociology
will be considered on an individual basis. A tentative evaluation of the
probability of advanced standing will be made at the time the student is ad-
mitted with the final determination after the qualifying examination has
been completed.
Students completing their master's at Northeastern will be considered for
admission to the doctoral program only after the results of their qualifying
examination have been evaluated. Students completing their master's at
another institution are admitted with the expectation that they will take the
qualifying examination at the first available opportunity.
Residence Requirement
The University's residence requirement can be satisfied by one year of
full-time graduate work, or its equivalent, beyond the Master of Arts degree.
If the M.A. has not been in sociology, a longer period of residence will un-
doubtedly be essential. Most students should expect to spend ap-
proximately two years or the equivalent in full-time graduate study beyond
the requirements of the master's degree.
Degree Candidacy
Degree candidacy is established in accordance with the general
regulations of the graduate school.
Qualifying Examination
Students will be examined on their ability to interpret readings and ex-
perience sociologically. A written examination is followed by an oral hearing
where a) the strengths and weaknesses shown by the examination are dis-
cussed with the student and suggestions are made for remedying the
weaknesses and b) in the light of these results a future course is charted for
the student. The main purpose of this examination is diagnostic and should
help both the department and the student to determine the best course of
future action. Excessive weaknesses will lead to a recommendation to con-
sider pursuing alternatives elsewhere.
Course Requirements
Generally, thirty-three hours of academic work beyond the master's
degree are required. However, the actual number needed by any particular
student will be specially determined in each case. Depending on
background, experience, and performance, a greater or lesser number of
formal courses may be required. Decisions on special cases will be made
by the Committee on Graduate Studies (COGS), acting in conjunction with
the student, his adviser, and the chairman of the department. Students
entering from another university may be required to take certain basic
courses before proceeding with the doctoral program.
134 / SOCIOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY
Language Requirements
A reading knowledge of one language in which there is substantial
sociological literature is required. Students must submit their choice to the
COGS for approval. The language requirement must be satisfied before ad-
mission to the comprehensive examination. Statistics and/or advanced
mathematics as well as languages needed primarily for field research are
considered an integral part of the training of students specializing in such
directions, and are therefore not the equivalent of the general language
requirement.
Comprehensive Examination
During the period of doctoral degree candidacy, each student must pass
a comprehensive examination, the purpose of which is to ensure that the
student has breadth in sociology in areas other than that pursued in the dis-
sertation. Two "state of the art" papers are required in fields which are not
close to that represented by the dissertation. When a student feels ready to
undertake these papers, s/he must submit the choice of fields to the COGS
for approval.
A student who wants to demonstrate breadth in sociology in another way
must petition the COGS. The comprehensive examination must be passed
at least nine months before the commencement at which the Ph.D. is to be
awarded.
Doctoral Dissertation
The student must submit a prospectus describing the topic of his doc-
toral dissertation, the methods of research, and the theoretical relevance of
his problem. This prospectus is to be discussed with and approved by the
dissertation committee consisting of the major adviser, two readers within
the department and at least one reader from outside the department. The
revised prospectus is then filed with the department.
Deadlines for Considering a Doctoral Dissertation
The chairman of the dissertation committee should be fully satisfied that
a dissertation is substantially complete on or before April 1 of the year in
which the candidate expects to defend.
Final Oral Examination
The dissertation will be defended after completion of all other re-
quirements for the doctoral degree. This oral defense will be held ap-
proximately four weeks after the dissertation has been accepted by the dis-
sertation committee, and at least two weeks before the commencement at
which the degree is to be awarded.
SOCIOLOGY AND ANTHROPOLOGY / 135
NB. Some of the requirements listed above for both the M.A. and Ph.D. will
undoubtedly have been modified. Please check with the department
and/or the graduate school for the most recent information. This applies
also to course offerings.

the university
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is incorporated as a privately
endowed nonsectarian institution of higher learning under the General
Laws of Massachusetts. The State Legislature by special enactment has
given the University general degree-granting powers. The University is
governed by a Board of Trustees elected by and from the Northeastern
University Corporation, which is composed of nearly 180 distinguished
business and professional men and women.
From its beginning, Northeastern University has had as its dominant pur-
pose the discovery of community educational needs and the meeting of
these in distinctive and serviceable ways. The University has not duplicated
the programs of other institutions, but has sought to pioneer new areas of
educational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University is its Cooperative Plan,
initiated by the College of Engineering in 1909 and subsequently adopted
by the Colleges of Business Administration (1922), Liberal Arts (1935),
Education (1953), Pharmacy (1962), Nursing (1964); Boston-Bouve College
(1964); the College of Criminal Justice (1967); and by Lincoln College's
daytime Bachelor of Engineering Technology program (1971). This
educational method enables students to gain valuable practical experience
as an integral part of their college program and also provides the means by
which they may contribute substantially to the financing of their education.
The Plan has been extended to the graduate level in engineering, actuarial
science, rehabilitation administration, professional accounting, business
administration, and law.
In the field of adult education, programs of study have been developed to
meet a variety of needs. University College offers evening courses —
offered by the University since 1906 — and adult-day courses leading to the
bachelor's degree. In addition to offering day undergraduate programs in
Electrical Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technol-
ogy, Lincoln College offers evening/part-time certificate, associate, and
bachelor's degree programs in technological areas. All formal courses of
study leading to degrees through part-time programs are approved by the
Basic College faculties concerned.
GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS
The 10 graduate and professional schools of the University offer day and
evening programs leading to the degrees listed.
The Graduate School of Actuarial Science offers the degree of Master of
Science in Actuarial Science.

CENTER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Center of Continuing Education was established in 1960 to relate the
University to the needs of its community in a period of accelerated change.
Adult education programs offered by the Center and University College
have since been consolidated. Its programs are composed of seminars,
conferences, institutes, forums, and a wide variety of special courses
designed to serve specific needs. The Division of Special Programs, work-
ing cooperatively with trade associations and professional societies, offers
a wide variety of programs dealing with current needs and problems.
Through its Division of Community Services, working with governmental
agencies and community organizations, the Center is becoming increasing-
ly involved in social problems on both the local and national level.
Many of these programs are conducted at Henderson House, North-
eastern University's conference center in Weston, Massachusetts.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The facilities of the University are engaged in a wide variety of basic I
research projects in business, science, social science, pharmacy, and !
engineering. These are coordinated by the Dean of Research, whose ser- i
vices are University-wide and available to the faculties of all the Colleges.
THE UNIVERSITY/ 19
Although Northeastern is primarily concerned with undergraduate and
graduate instruction, the University believes that the most effective teaching
and learning take place in an environment characterized by research ac-
tivities directed toward extending the frontiers of knowledge.

boston-bouve college
graduate school
The purposes of advanced study in Boston-Bouve College are consistent
with the philosophy of Northeastern University, and with the goals of ad-
vanced study in the professions. The programs are designed to fulfill the
needs and interests of personnel in health, physical and recreation educa-
tion and physical therapy in an era of social and educational change and
redirection.
Graduate study is founded in the fields of knowledge and specialization
which are extensively explored in upper-division or upper-class years of
undergraduate preparation. The nature of advanced study leading to the
master's degree demands of students and faculty attitudes of intensive
critical analysis; cognitive development of idea and thought reliably tested
in scholarly search and discussion, with application involving educational
resources and practice; specialized research and creative experimentation
in emerging theories, with application in the primary specialized field and
its ancillary contexts; exploration and development of new trends in
curriculum theory, process, and evaluation; critiques of professional
reading and related literature; conversance with diverse methods and inter-
pretation of scientific, philosophic, historical, and descriptive research; and
a depth study using the appropriate research method in an approved in-
vestigation or thesis/project under faculty advisement.
The goals of graduate education in Boston-Bouve College are:
1. To provide advanced preparation for administrators, supervisors,
therapists, teachers, recreation specialists, coaches, and researchers
through specific professional study and interdisciplinary experience.
2. To develop appreciation for the orderly approach to discovery through
research, philosophical thought, and discussion.
3. To provide a sound basis for research and to facilitate student research
experiences and applications.
4. To contribute to the development and refinement of dance, games,
sports, recreation, and outdoor education within their cultural settings,
and through comparative study.
5. To develop leaders and teachers capable of designing current and in-
novative approaches to learning and curriculum development.
6. To encourage intensive study in a specialized area of concern, with
awareness of problems in education and society.
7. To provide a foundation for advanced study at the doctoral level.
25
26 / BOSTON-BOUVE COLLEGE GRADUATE SCHOOL
PART-TIME STUDY
Graduate programs in Boston-Bouve College are structured to provide
an opportunity for the master's degree candidate to attend classes in the
late afternoon or evening while continuing his/her full-time employment. By
judicial use of electives and independent study, an unemployed student
may carry the equivalent of a full-time course load.
Students normally take one or two courses per quarter and can complete
the degree program in two to three years, depending upon whether or not
course work is taken during the summer quarter.
Students maintaining a satisfactory academic standing may petition the
Director of the Graduate School for permission to take more than two
courses per quarter.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
The general regulations and minimum requirements for all graduate
programs are established by the Northeastern University Graduate Council.
In some matters the committee of each graduate school is allowed discre-
tion to establish regulations within limits defined by the Council. The
regulations and academic requirements which follow have been formulated
in accordance with this general policy.
Application
All applicants should address inquiries to Boston-Bouve College Grad-
uate School. Application forms and information will be mailed promptly.
Registration
Students must register within the period listed on the school calendar.
Registration will not be permitted after this period.
Residence
All work for advanced degrees must be completed in residence at the
University, unless approval has been obtained from the Director of the
Boston-Bouve College Graduate School for work taken elsewhere.
Students who are in residence and using the facilities of the University must
register for such work.
Grading System
The performance of students in graduate courses is recorded by the in-
structor, using the following grades:
A Excellent
For performance of high graduate caliber
BOSTON-BOUVE COLLEGE GRADUATE SCHOOL / 27
B Satisfactory
For performance at a satisfactory level
C Fair
For performance not at the level expected in graduate work
F Failure
For unsatisfactory performance
In addition, the following letter designations are used:
I Incomplete
For failure to complete course work
S Satisfactory without quality designation
For satisfactory completion of course work
U Unsatisfactory without quality designation
The grades S and U are used for the first quarter of a two-quarter se-
quence in which the second-quarter grade applies to both the first and
second quarters of the sequence: e.g., Thesis I and II.
The designation I is to be changed to a grade upon removal of the
deficiencies which caused the I to be reported. Deficiencies must be re-
moved within the quarter following that for which the I is received, unless an
extension of time is granted by the instructor. However, such extension of
time may not exceed two additional consecutive calendar quarters. Grades
of Incomplete received in Thesis I and II may be continued beyond the two-
quarters' limit, but must be removed prior to graduation and within the six-
year time limitation.
Any student who wishes to take a make-up examination must obtain per-
mission from the Director of Boston-Bouve College Graduate School by the
second week of the quarter succeeding that in which the examination is
missed. The make-up examination must be taken in that succeeding
quarter unless circumstances warrant permission from the Director to defer
it to the second succeeding quarter.
Class Hours and Credits
All credits at Northeastern University are entered as quarter-hour credits,
with a quarter hour of credit being equivalent to three-fourths of a semester
hour, i.e., 12 semester hours are equal to 16 quarter hours.
All classes in the Boston-Bouve College Graduate School meet on a
quarter basis, with an academic quarter defined as a term of approximately
12 weeks' duration. In the summer quarter, classes meet in a term of six
weeks' duration. The academic calendar in the front of this bulletin should
be consulted to determine the opening dates of each quarter.
Continuity of Program
Students are expected to maintain continuous progress toward a degree.
Any student who does not attend Northeastern for a period of one year
must apply for readmission.
28 / BOSTON-BOUVE COLLEGE GRADUATE SCHOOL
Withdrawals
In order to withdraw from a course, a student must fill out an official
withdrawal form obtained at the Registrar's Office or at the Burlington Cam-
pus. Withdrawals may be made through the ninth class meeting of the
quarter. Students will be withdrawn as of the date on which they complete
the form. Ceasing to attend a class or notifying the instructor does not con-
stitute an official withdrawal. Petitions for withdrawal from a course after the
ninth class meeting of the quarter must be submitted to the Director of the
Graduate School, and may be approved to avert unusual hardships on the
student.
Students who do not attend the first two sessions will be dropped from
the class unless they notify the Registrar of their intention not to withdraw.
Changes in Requirements
The continuing development of the Graduate School forces frequent revi-
sion of curricula. In every new bulletin, some improvements are indicated.
When changes impose no hardship on the student and school facilities per-
mit, the student is expected to meet the requirements of the latest bulletin.
If the student finds it impossible to meet these requirements, the bulletin for
the year in which he entered becomes the binding one.
Application for the Diploma
If a commencement card is not filed with the Registrar's Office on or
before the applicable date listed on the calendar, there is no assurance that
the degree will be granted in that particular year, even though all other re-
quirements have been fulfilled.
THE MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE
Admission to Degree Candidacy
For admission to the Boston-Bouve College Graduate School, a degree
candidate must have presented the following to the Director of the
Graduate School:
1. A completed application and $15 application fee.
2. Official transcript(s) from accredited institution(s) as evidence of
successful completion of the baccalaureate degree. The transcript(s)
should show a cumulative average of 2.5 or better and a minimum of 18
semester hours or 24 quarter hours of work in the student's proposed
major or the equivalent in professional background.
3. Record of an interview with the Director of the Boston-Bouve Graduate
School or designate — required only if candidate has an undergraduate
degree unrelated to the area of specialization or has less than a 2.5
cumulative average.
4. Three references from persons familiar with the applicant's professional,
academic, and character background.
5. An official record of the Miller Analogies Test score.
BOSTON-BOUVE COLLEGE GRADUATE SCHOOL / 29
It is recommended that all materials be on file in the office of Boston-
Bouve Graduate School before registration for the first graduate course. In
no case will a conference and course registration be permitted without a
minimum of a completed application and a copy of the undergraduate
transcript. The additional materials — the Miller Analogies Test score and
references — must be received no later than the end of the first quarter. A
student may not continue in the program unless these conditions are fulfill-
ed.
Academic Classifications
Students whose materials meet the criteria above are classified as
regular students.
The Director of Boston-Bouve College Graduate School may admit any
person as a special student who presents evidence of a bachelor's degree
and who appears otherwise prepared to undertake study in the Graduate
School. Admission is on the provision that the applicant: a) files an applica-
tion and b) acknowledges that subsequent to being reclassified as a degree
candidate, only 12 quarter hours of academic credit earned as a special
student may be applied toward a degree.
Academic Requirements
A candidate for the master's degree must complete an approved
program conforming to requirements of the department in which the can-
didate is registered. At the discretion of the Graduate Committee, any stu-
dent whose record is not satisfactory may be dropped from the program. A
minimum of 48 quarter hours of correlated, graduate-caliber work, along
with other study required by the department, must be completed.
An average grade of at least B must be obtained in the quarter hours of
credit required for the degree, excluding any transfer credits. Not more
than eight quarter hours ofjextra or repeated courses are allowed to satisfy
grade requirements for the qegree.
Within the above limitations, a required course for which a grade of F is
received must be repeated with a grade of C or better, and may be
repeated only once. If a grade of F is received in an elective course, that
course may be repeated once to obtain a grade of C or better, or another
elective course may be submitted. If a grade of C is received in a required
course, that course may be repeated once to obtain a grade of B or better.
A degree candidate's record is subject to review by the Boston-Bouve
College Graduate Committee upon completion of his/her sixth course
at Northeastern University. At this time, the student must have made
reasonable progress in achieving his/her program objectives, and have ob-
tained at least a B average. If the requirements are met, he/she is en-
couraged to continue the program. In the event his/her record is un-
satisfactory, he/she may be dropped as a degree candidate from the
Boston-Bouve College Graduate School.
30 / BOSTON-BOUVE COLLEGE GRADUATE SCHOOL
Program Selection
Upon acceptance as a degree candidate, the student is assigned to a
program adviser in his/her major area of concentration. In consultation with
his/her adviser, the student develops a program of study, including
program objectives, anticipated courses, and estimated dates for comple-
tion of the various degree requirements. Prior to completion of the first 12
quarter hours of credit, the program requires approval by the Boston-
Bouve College Graduate Committee. Any subsequent changes in program
require further Committee approval.
Transfer Credits
A maximum of 12 quarter hours of credit obtained at another institution is
accepted toward the master's degree, provided that the credits are
recommended for transfer by the student's program adviser; consist of
work taken at the graduate level for graduate credit; carry grades of A or B;
have been earned at a recognized institution; and have not been used
toward any other degree. Students should petition the Director of the
Graduate School in writing for all transfer credit, completing the necessary
form obtainable from either the office of Boston-Bouve College or the facul-
ty program adviser. This form should be submitted to the student's
program adviser along with an official transcript and a course description.
Grades on transfer credits may not be used in obtaining the academic
average necessary for completion of degree requirements.
Time Limitations
Course credits earned in the graduate study program or accepted by
transfer are valid for a maximum of six years from the date of course com-
pletion unless an extension is granted by the College Graduate Committee.
Comprehensive Examination
A comprehensive subject-matter examination is taken by each candidate
no later than two weeks before his commencement. This examination may
be taken when the candidate has completed at least three-fourths of the
designated course work, and received consent of his program adviser. The
comprehensive examination is prepared by selected graduate faculty with
whom the student has studied. The areas to be tested are commensurate
with the student's specialization, area of concentration, and core subject
matter appropriate to his professional field. The program adviser makes
arrangements for the preparation of the test. Faculty members preparing
the examination assume responsibility for its reading and grading, and for
informing the adviser of results. Test results are reported by the program
adviser to the Director of the Boston-Bouve College Graduate School.
Each section of the examination is graded on the basis of A, B, C, or F.
The candidate's total grade must average to the grade of B. Grades of F are
not acceptable. A student failing all or part of the examination may, upon
BOSTON-BOUVE COLLEGE GRADUATE SCHOOL / 31
the recommendation of his adviser, be given one re-examination. Con-
ditions governing re-examination are determined by the Director of the
Graduate School or an appropriate designate.
Thesis/Project
Each candidate must submit a thesis or project which clearly exhibits
his/her research ability, and is designed to increase the scope of his/her in-
dividual specialization. The proposal is submitted to the program advisor
for approval. Upon initial approval, an advisor and two additional com-
mittee members are appointed by the Director of the Graduate School at
the recommendation of the program advisor. The thesis or project proposal
and completed document must be approved by the thesis/project com-
mittee and the Director of the Graduate School.

Equal Opportunity Policy
Northeastern University is committed to a policy of providing equal op-
portunity for ail. In all matters involving admissions, registration, and all of-
ficial relationships with students, including evaluation of academic perfor-
mance, the University insists on a policy of nondiscrimination. Northeastern
University is also an equal opportunity employer; it is institutional policy that
there shall not be any discrimination against any employee or applicant for
employment because of race, color, religion, sex, age, national origin, or on
the basis of being a handicapped but otherwise qualified individual. In addi-
tion, Northeastern takes affirmative action in the recruitment of students
and employees. Inquiries concerning our equal opportunity policies may be
referred to the University Affirmative Action Officer and/or the Title IX coor-
dinator.
Delivery of Services
The University assumes no liability, and hereby expressly negates the
same, for failure to provide or delay in providing educational or related ser-
vices or facilities or for any other failure or delay in performance arising out
of or due to causes beyond the reasonable control of the University, which
causes include, without limitation, power failure, fire, strikes by University
employees or others, damage by the elements and acts of public
authorities. The University will, however, exert reasonable efforts, when in
its judgment it is appropriate to do so, to provide comparable or substan-
tially equivalent services, facilities or performance, but its inability or failure
to do so shall not subject it to liability.

the university
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is incorporated as a privately
endowed nonsectarian institution of higher learning under the General
Laws of Massachusetts. The State Legislature by special enactment has
given the University general degree-granting powers. The University is
governed by a Board of Trustees elected by and from the Northeastern
University Corporation, which is composed of nearly 180 distinguished
business and professional men and women.
From its beginning, Northeastern University has had as its dominant pur-
pose the discovery of community educational needs and the meeting of
these in distinctive and serviceable ways. The University has not duplicated
the programs of other institutions, but has sought to pioneer new areas of
educational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University is its Cooperative Plan,
initiated by the College of Engineering in 1909 and subsequently adopted
by the Colleges of Business Administration (1922); Liberal Arts (1935);
Education (1953); Pharmacy (1962); Nursing (1964); Boston-Bouve College
(1964); the College of Criminal Justice (1967); and by Lincoln College's
daytime Bachelor of Engineering Technology program (1971). This
educational method enables students to gain valuable practical experience
as an integral part of their college program and also provides the means
by which they may contribute substantially to the financing of their educa-
tion. The Plan has been extended to the graduate level in engineering, ac-
tuarial science, rehabilitation administration, professional accounting,
business administration, and law.
In the field of adult education, programs of study have been developed
to meet a variety of needs. University College offers evening courses —
offered by the University since 1906 — and adult-day courses leading to
the bachelor's degree. In addition to offering day undergraduate programs
in Electrical Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Techno-
logy, Lincoln College offers evening/part-time certificate, associate, and
bachelor degree programs in technological areas. All formal courses of
study leading to degrees through part-time programs are approved by the
Basic College faculties concerned.
GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS
The ten graduate and professional schools of the University offer day
and evening programs leading to the degrees listed.
The Graduate School of Actuarial Science offers the degree of Master of
Science in Actuarial Science.
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offers the degrees of Master
of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Science in Health Science, Master of
Public Administration, and Doctor of Philosophy.

CENTER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Center for Continuing Education was established in 1960 to relate
the University to the needs of its community in a period of accelerated
change. Adult education programs offered by the Center and University
College have since been consolidated. Its programs are composed of
seminars, conferences, institutes, forums, and a wide variety of special
courses designed to serve specific needs. The Division of Special
Programs, working cooperatively with trade associations and professional
societies, offers a wide variety of programs dealing with current needs and
problems. Through its Division of Community Services, working with
governmental agencies and community organizations, the Center is
becoming increasingly involved in social problems on both the local and
national level.
Many of these programs are conducted at Henderson House, North-
eastern University's conference center in Weston, Massachusetts.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The facilities of the University are engaged in a wide variety of basic
research projects in business, science, social science, pharmacy, and
engineering. These are coordinated by the Dean of Research, whose ser-
vices are University-wide and available to the faculties of all the Colleges.
Although Northeastern is primarily concerned with undergraduate and
graduate instruction, the University believes that the most effective
teaching and learning take place in an environment characterized by
research activities directed toward extending the frontiers of knowledge.

University offers a program leading to the degree of Master of Business
Administration. Broad in concept, the program is aimed at preparing the
student for a career in administration rather than for an immediate or par-
ticular position. The curriculum and teaching methods center around the
development of basic skills and knowledge appropriate to administration,
rather than emphasizing specialized functional techniques. Although the
case method of study is used extensively, a variety of teaching methods is
employed that is consonant with particular course objectives. The basic
objectives of the program are to increase skills and knowledge in basic
disciplines underlying administrative practice, and to develop judgement
and skills of problem analysis and decision making in complex
organizations.
There is no prescribed undergraduate background recommended for
admission. Undergraduate experiences typically include literature and the
arts, mathematics and the sciences, and engineering and other applied
fields. The program provides all managerial preparation appropriate to a
graduate business curriculum. Flexibility allows for more intensive work in
a specialized area or more general study in several fields to accommodate
specific needs.
The student may choose one of three methods of securing an M.B.A.
degree: internship, full-time, and part-time study.
Internship
A feature which makes this Northeastern M.B.A. Program unusual in
graduate education is the incorporation of a formalized work experience.
The 18-month program is in accordance with the Northeastern
philosophy that a balanced exposure to theory and practice is the most
effective approach to education. Class work begins with basic disciplines
vital to sound progress in a management-oriented course. The functional
areas of business are treated next, with process courses and electives
following.
The Management Intern Program incorporates six months of full-time
work experience in the world of business and 12 months of full-time
classroom study. The intern student, after completing one-half of the re-
quired M.B.A. course work, is employed in a capacity which provides both a
realistic professional experience and an added source of funds for con-
tinuance in the program. The nature of the job assures ample opportunity to
apply concepts learned in the classroom and to test the realities of career
options.

Because of economic, academic, and individual variables, the Graduate
School does not guarantee placement; however, the University has full-
time, experienced staff to assist the student in obtaining the internship.
Students are also encouraged to investigate employment opportunities on
their own in order to facilitate final placement by the intern coordinator.
Students are admitted as full-time interns in January and June of each
year. The sequence of class and work sessions is illustrated below for both
of these classes.

During each academic quarter the student normally carries 18 quarter
hours of credit.
Thus, the full-time internship blends one full calendar year of academic
study with six months of coordinated work in a business, industrial or non-
profit setting. This combination of theory and practice gives the intern ex-
cellent preparation for a career in management.
Full-Time
The full-time, non-internship allows students wide latitude in determining
their pace toward the M.B.A. degree. Although most students take four
courses each quarter, some take as many as five or six courses. This
enables a candidate to complete degree requirements in a period from one
calendar year to two academic years.
Part-Time
Part-time students may continue their full-time employment while ac-
quiring the background, skills, and knowledge that will help them advance
their careers in administration.
These students normally take two courses per quarter; classes are
scheduled so that part-time candidates may attend both courses on the
same night. Therefore it is possible for a student to complete the degree
program in three to four years, depending upon whether course work is
taken during the summer quarter. All courses registered for the M.B.A.
may be completed at the Boston or Burlington campuses.
Students maintaining a satisfactory academic standing may petition the
Director of the Graduate School of Business Administration for permission
to take more than two courses per quarter.
Thus, part-time students have the advantage of attending classes in the
late afternoon and evening to learn the theory behind the practical applica-
tion of their employment.

To be admitted for graduate work in the College of Business Administra-
tion, applicants must have completed undergraduate work of high quality
and must have obtained a bachelor's degree from a recognized institution
of higher learning. The overall quality of undergraduate achievement is
considered to be of more importance than the particular field of specializa-
tion. Official transcripts of all previous undergraduate and graduate work
26 / THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
must be submitted to the Graduate School of Business Administration
before admission can be considered or an evaluation made.
Personal interviews may be required for entrance to the management
intern program. Applicants will be invited to the Boston campus for an in-
terview after all application material has been received.
Due to the rolling admissions policy of the Graduate School, applicants
for the January intern program will not be granted interviews until July of
the preceding year. Final decisions for the January class will be made
beginning in August.
The basic criteria considered in the admissions procedure are: un-
dergraduate grades, previous graduate work, the score on the GMAT, job
experience, and present job level. An overall impression of strength, past
success, and motivation to succeed in the Graduate School is sought in the
applicants for the program.
Although the M.B.A. Program presumes no particular level of com-
petence in the areas of accounting, economics, statistics, mathematics,
and behavioral science, prospective applicants are advised to acquire
some background in these areas in their undergraduate work.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
The general regulations and minimum requirements for all graduate
programs are established by the Northeastern University Graduate Coun-
cil. In some matters the committee of each graduate school is allowed dis-
cretion to establish regulations within limits defined by the Council. The
regulations and academic requirements which follow have been formulated
in accordance with this general policy.
Academic Requirements
In order to qualify for the M.B.A. degree, an average grade of B must be
obtained in the total credit hours required for graduation. No more than
three extra courses or repeated courses may be taken in order to satisfy
this grade requirement.
Any student who receives a grade of less than B in four or more degree
credit courses may be withdrawn from the program by action of the Com-
mittee of the Graduate School of Business Administration.
Within the above limitations, a required course for which a grade of I or
F is received must be repeated with a grade of C or better, and may be
repeated only once. If a grade of I or F is received in an elective course,
that course may be repeated once with a grade of C or better, or another
elective course may be substituted for it. If a grade of C is received in a
required course, that course may be repeated once to obtain a grade of B
or better.
The continuing development of the Graduate School forces frequent
revision of curricula. In every new bulletin some revisions are indicated.
When no hardship is imposed on the student because of changes, and
when the facilities of the school permit, the student is expected to meet the
requirements of the latest bulletin.
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION / 27
Application for the Degree
A commencement card must be filed with the Registrar's Office before
the date specified on the University calendar. This assures the student's
graduation the same year all degree requirements are completed. Prompt
filing of the commencement card also ensures the correct spelling on the
diploma.
Continuity of Program
Students are expected to maintain continuous progress toward a
degree. Any student who does not attend Northeastern for a period of one
quarter without notifying the program director will be classified as inactive.
All inactive students must submit a written petition to the director of the
program in order to be readmitted to graduate study. Petition forms may
be obtained in Room 224 Hayden Hall.
Credits and Class Hours
All credits at Northeastern University are entered as quarter-hour
credits, with a quarter hour of credit being equivalent to three fourths of a
semester hour: i.e., 12 semester hours equal 15 quarter hours.
All classes in the Graduate School of Business Administration meet on a
quarter basis, with an academic quarter defined as a term of approximate-
ly 12 weeks' duration. In the summer quarter, classes meet in two six-week
sessions. The academic calendar at the front of this bulletin should be con-
sulted to determine the opening dates of each quarter.
A minimum of 11 classes must be scheduled for each course during the
fall, winter, and spring quarters. In a split summer session (5 and 6 weeks),
a minimum of 10 classes must be scheduled in the first 5 weeks and a
minimum of 1 1 classes in the second 6 weeks.
Grading System
The performance of students in graduate courses will be recorded by
the instructor through use of the following grades:
A Excellent
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the
course has been of very high graduate caliber.
B Satisfactory
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the
course has been at a satisfactory level.
C Fair
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the
course is not at the level expected in graduate work.
F Failure
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the
course is unsatisfactory.
28 / THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION
In addition, the following letter designations are used:
I Incomplete
This grade is given to those students who fail to complete the work of
the course.
The designation I will be changed to a grade upon removal of the
deficiencies which caused the grade of I to be reported. Deficiencies must
be made up within the quarter following that for which the grade of I is
received, unless the instructor grants an extension of time. However, such
extension may not exceed two additional consecutive calendar quarters.
Registration
Part-time students must register during the periods listed on the school
calendar. Dates of registration are specified by letter for students accepted
for full-time study.
Residence
All work for advanced degrees must be completed in residence at the
University, unless approval has been obtained from the Director of the
Graduate School of Business Administration for work taken elsewhere.
Students who are in residence and are using the facilities of the University
must register for such work.
Time Limitation
Course credits earned in the program of graduate study, or accepted by
transfer, are valid for a maximum of seven years.
Transfer Credit
A maximum of 15 quarter hours of graduate credit obtained at another
institution may be accepted toward the master's degree, provided that the
credits transferred carry grades of A or B, have been earned at a recogniz-
ed institution, have not been used toward any other degree, and are rele-
vant to the M.B.A. Program. Students should petition the Graduate School
of Business Administration in writing for all transfer credit. Petition forms
may be obtained in Room 224 Hayden Hall. Grades on transfer courses are
excluded in the computation of the academic average necessary for the
completion of the degree requirements.
Waiver Procedures
Students with strong academic achievement in a specific course area
may petition to waive required courses in that area. Although all petitions
for course waiver must be initiated through the Graduate School office,
each petition is subject to approval by the faculty within the particular
academic area involved.
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION / 29
The faculty of each department has the authority to determine the ade-
quacy of a student's background relative to the course material to be
waived. Some departments may require examinations prior to waiver;
others may dictate advanced electives to be taken in lieu of required
courses successfully waived.
Generally several undergraduate courses in a specific area are required
for a successful course waiver. The following guidelines also apply:
A. No undergraduate course can be considered toward waiver request
unless it was taken at an accredited school.
B. No undergraduate course can be counted toward a waiver request
unless a grade of "B" or better was received.
C. No student shall receive the M.B.A. degree unless at least 18
graduate courses are taken within the Northeastern University grad-
uate program. Thus, the maximum number of courses which may be
waived with credit is 10.
Petition forms and waiver guidelines may be obtained in the Graduate
School office (224 HA).
Withdrawals
In order to withdraw from a course, a student must submit an official
withdrawal form obtained at the Registrar's Office or at the Suburban Cam-
pus Main Office. Withdrawals may be made through the ninth class
meeting of the quarter. Students are withdrawn as of the date on which
they submit the form. Ceasing to attend a class or notifying the instructor
does not constitute an official withdrawal.
Petitions for withdrawal from a course after the ninth class meeting of
the quarter must be submitted to the Director of the Graduate School, and
may be approved to avert unusual hardships on a student. Petition forms
may be obtained in Room 224 Hayden Hall.

mulating and proctoring exams, and counseling students either in account-
ing, finance, marketing, statistics, or introduction to business.
Administrative and Teaching Assistants are expected to devote 20 hours
per week to assigned duties. Appointments are made for each academic
year, with full tuition remission, plus a stipend consisting of $3,000 in the
first academic year, and $3,000 in the second. Tuition assistants are
granted full tuition remission in return for 8 hours of service a week.
Applicants for the Teaching and Administrative Assistantships who are
not selected for these awards will automatically receive consideration for a
Tuition Assistantship with administrative or research responsibilities. (No
additional application is required.)
Northeastern University, which is a member of the Council of Graduate
Schools of the United States, subscribes to the following Resolution of the
Council: "In every case in which a graduate assistantship, scholarship, or
fellowship is offered to an actual or prospective graduate student, the stu-
dent, if he indicates his acceptance before April 15, will have complete
freedom through April 15 to submit in writing a resignation of his appoint-
ment in order to accept another graduate assistantship, scholarship, or
FINANCIAL INFORMATION / 33
fellowship. However, an acceptance given or left in force after April 15
commits him not to accept another appointment without first obtaining for-
mal release for the purpose."
Dormitory Proctorships
A number of proctorships in men's dormitories on or near the Hun-
tington Avenue Campus is available each year. Appointments carry a
minimum compensation of room and board. Further information and
application forms may be obtained from the Office of University Housing.
Guaranteed Student Loan Program
Under this program, students who are matriculated degree candidates,
enrolled for at least one-half the normal academic work load, may borrow
from a participating bank or other financial institution. Terms and con-
ditions vary from state to state, but a student generally may borrow up to
$1 ,500 a year (the law allows a maximum of $2,500 per year) depending on
financial need. The Federal government pays the interest while the student
is in school if the student is eligible for interest subsidy.
The student must have submitted, through the College Scholarship Ser-
vice, a Parents' Confidential Statement; or if he has been declared finan-
cially independent by the Financial Aid Office, a Students' Confidential
Statement. These forms are available in the Financial Aid Office.
Applications for the loan itself are available from local banks or the
Education Office of your state government. Additional information and
necessary application forms for Massachusetts residents are available
from the Financial Aid Office.
Martin Luther King, Jr., Fellowships
A limited number of full-time Martin Luther King, Jr., Fellowships are
available. Holders of these appointments devote full time to graduate work.
Further information is available at the African-American Institute.
National Direct Student Loan
This program is available to students who are carrying at least one-half
the normal academic work load, are accepted as degree candidates, and
who show evidence of financial need.
The Federal maximum which a graduate student may borrow while pur-
suing a post-baccalaureate degree is $5,000.
Repayment and interest on these loans do not begin until nine months
after the student ceases to carry at least a half-time academic load at an
institution of higher education. The repayment of principal may be extend-
ed over a 10-year period with the interest at the rate of three percent per
annum. Repayment may be deferred up to a total of three years while a
borrower is serving as a Peace Corps or VISTA volunteer.

OTHER GRADUATE-LEVEL PROGRAMS IN BUSINESS
The Center for Management Development
Management Workshop
The Management Workshop is designed chiefly for middle managers
who have demonstrated the potential for promotion into higher
organizational levels. It provides a comprehensive outline of the major
areas of business through graduate-level courses in organizational
behavior, financial analysis and control, operations management,
marketing, and economic forecasting.
Classes in four subjects are scheduled for each of twelve Fridays from
8:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m. at Northeastern's Henderson House Conference
Center in Weston, Massachusetts. There is a choice of two sessions per
year. The fall session begins the third Friday in September and ends in
mid-December; the spring session starts the first Friday in March and con-
tinues twelve consecutive Fridays through mid-May.
42 / MASTER OF BUSINESS ADMINISTRATION CURRICULUM
Management Development Program
The Management Development Program is a graduate-level course in
business, designed for experienced managers who have had responsibility
for a major task, function, department, division, or independent enterprise.
Its general aim is to improve the manager's overall performance.
There is a choice of two six-week sessions spaced over five months, Oc-
tober through February or January through May. Participants attend two
consecutive weeks of classes at the outset and thereafter one week in each
of the remaining four months. This approach offers a tested alternative to
organizations which recognize the need for manager training but find it dif-
ficult to release a key man for lengthy periods of study. A certificate is
awarded to all who successfully complete the course work.
Graduate School of Professional Accounting
The Graduate School of Professional Accounting offers a 15-month
program for non-accounting majors that leads to the degree of Master of
Science in Professional Accounting. This unique program combines 12
months of class work with a three-month internship in a public accounting
firm.

the university
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is incorporated as a
privately endowed nonsectarian institution of higher learning un-
der the General Laws of Massachusetts. The State Legislature, by
special enactment, has given the University general degree-grant-
ing powers. The University is governed by a Board of Trustees
elected by and from the Northeastern University Corporation,
which is composed of 170 distinguished business and profes-
sional men and women.
From its beginning, Northeastern University has had as its dom-
inant purpose the discovery of community educational needs and
the meeting of these in distinctive and serviceable ways. The Uni-
versity has not duplicated the programs of other institutions, but
has sought to pioneer new areas of educational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University is its Coopera-
tive Plan, initiated by the College of Engineering in 1909 and sub-
sequently adopted by the Colleges of Business Administration
(1922), Liberal Arts (1935), Education (1953), Pharmacy (1962),
Nursing (1964), Boston-Bouve College (1964), the College of Crim-
inal Justice (1967), and Lincoln College's daytime Bachelor of En-
gineering Technology program (1971). As an educational method,
the Cooperative Plan enables students to gain valuable practical
experience as an integral part of their college program, and also
provides the means by which they may contribute substantially to
the financing of their education. The Plan has been extended to
the graduate level in engineering, actuarial science, rehabilitation
administration, professional accounting, business administration,
and law.
In the field of adult education, programs of study have been
developed to meet a variety of needs. University College offers
evening courses — offered by the University since 1906 — and
adult-day courses leading to the bachelor's degree. In addition to
offering day undergraduate programs in Electrical Engineering
Technology and Mechanical Engineering Technology, Lincoln
College offers evening/part-time certificate, associate, and bache-
lor degree programs in technological areas. All formal courses
of study leading to degrees through part-time programs are ap-
proved by the Basic College faculties concerned.
19
20 / THE UNIVERSITY
GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS
The ten graduate and professional schools of the University
offer day and evening programs leading to the degrees listed.
The Graduate School of Actuarial Science offers the degree of
Master of Science in Actuarial Science.
The Graduate School of Arts and Sciences offers the degrees of
Master of Arts, Master of Science, Master of Science in Health
Science, Master of Public Administration, and Doctor of Philos-
ophy.
The Graduate School of Boston-Bouve College offers the de-
gree of Master of Science.
The Graduate School of Business Administration offers the de-
gree of Master of Business Administration.
The Graduate Program in Criminal Justice offers the degree of
Master of Science.
The Graduate School of Education offers the degree of Master
of Education and the Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study.
The Graduate School of Engineering offers the degrees of Mas-
ter of Science, Engineer degree, Doctor of Engineering, and Doc-
tor of Philosophy.
The School of Law offers the degree of Juris Doctor.
The Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Profes-
sions offers the degrees of Master of Science and Doctor of
Philosophy.
The Graduate School of Professional Accounting offers the de-
gree of Master of Science in Accounting.
CENTER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Center for Continuing Education was established in 1960
to relate the University to the needs of its community in a period
of accelerated change. Adult education programs offered by the
Center and University College have since been consolidated. Its
programs are composed of seminars, conferences, institutes,
forums, and a wide variety of special courses designed to serve
specific needs. The Division of Special Programs, working coop-
eratively with trade associations and professional societies, offers
a wide variety of programs dealing with current needs and prob-
lems. Through its Division of Community Services, working with
governmental agencies and community organizations, the Center
is becoming increasingly involved in social problems on both the
local and national level.
THE UNIVERSITY / 21
Many of these programs are conducted at Henderson House,
Northeastern University's conference center in Weston, Massa-
chusetts.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The facilities of the University are engaged in a wide variety of
basic research projects in business, science, social science,
pharmacy, and engineering. These are coordinated by the Dean
of Research, whose services are University-wide and available to
the faculties of all the Colleges.
Although Northeastern is primarily concerned with undergradu-
ate and graduate instruction, the University believes that the most
effective teaching and learning take place in an environment
characterized by research activities directed toward extending
the frontiers of knowledge.
DEPARTMENT OF GRADUATE PLACEMENT SERVICES
Counseling and placement services are available to students
and alumni of all University programs. A Job Bank of current op-
portunities located throughout Massachusetts and out of state is
maintained, and individual counseling is available. For graduate
students enrolled in programs operated on the Cooperative Plan,
the Department makes possible an integration of academic work
and professional experience in each field of concentration, by re-
ferring students to appropriate work assignments.
The Department also offers, on an ongoing basis, a seminar on
the technology of job hunting, which teaches participants how to
organize an effective job search. The seminar, which has received
local and national media coverage in The Washington Post and
Newsweek magazine, and on radio and television, discusses the
techniques of building personal referral networks, conducting
mail campaigns, and achieving successful interviews, as well as
many other valuable tips. By offering the seminar and its other
assistance, the Department provides a thorough and vital program
of placement services.

college of
criminal justice
graduate program
The Graduate Program in Criminal Justice at Northeastern Uni-
versity offers both a full- and part-time program leading to a
Master of Science degree. Students have the opportunity to
choose among three major concentrations of study: administra-
tion, policy development, and planning; behavioral science theory;
and research. Development of leadership qualities is stressed in
each specialization. The purpose of the graduate program is to
provide innovative concepts in academic study and research of
crime using the criminal justice process.
The master's program in criminal justice concentrates on the
problem of crime as a form of deviant behavior through a system
established in response to that problem. The multidisciplinary
academic program emphasizes a systems approach to criminal
justice, and stresses organizational and management theory.
Broad in concept, the program is to be understood as encom-
passing such related disciplines as law, sociology, political sci-
ence, psychology, criminology, and public administration. Its pri-
mary educational function is to prepare individuals for research,
teaching, and administration within a changing criminal justice
system.
Faculty members represent several academic disciplines.
Teaching activities vary in nature and depend on the instructor's
specific objectives. Specialized areas include courses in com-
munity treatment, delinquency, correctional management, crim-
inology, and criminalistics.
The goals of graduate study in the College of Criminal Justice
are:
27
28 / COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE GRADUATE PROGRAM
1. To develop leaders capable of assuming responsibility for
policy planning, administration, and group leadership.
2. To prepare individuals for criminal justice teaching positions
in community colleges and other educational institutions.
3. To provide students with the necessary skills and knowledge
for applied research and to facilitate their ability to discern
problem areas.
4. To provide a foundation for advanced doctoral study.
FULL-TIME STUDY
Graduate study in criminal justice may be pursued through
either a full- or part-time program. Full-time study allows for com-
pletion of course work within one academic year, beginning in
September and ending in June of the following year. A substan-
tial portion of the full-time student's time is devoted to academic
study. However, simultaneous work on the thesis is expected dur-
ing this period. Most students finish the thesis requirement in one
additional quarter, thereby completing the program within one
calendar year.
PART-TIME STUDY
Graduate study is also possible on a part-time basis. The part-
time student is allowed to carry a maximum of two courses per
quarter. Close consultation with a faculty adviser helps the part-
time student determine a workable sequence of courses, and
decide the number of credits to be carried each quarter. All de-
gree requirements must be completed within five years from the
date of enrollment.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
The general regulations and minimum requirements for all
graduate programs are established by the Northeastern University
Graduate Council. In some matters the committee of each grad-
uate school is allowed discretion to establish regulations within
limits defined by the Council. The regulations and academic re-
quirements which follow have been formulated in accordance
with this general policy.
Application
All applicants should address inquiries to the Graduate Pro-
gram of Criminal Justice. Application forms and information will
be mailed promptly.
COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE GRADUATE PROGRAM / 29
Registration
Students must register within the period listed on the school
calendar. Registration is not permitted after this period.
Residence
All work for advanced degrees must be completed in residence
at the University, unless approval has been obtained from the
Director of the Graduate Program in Criminal Justice for work
taken elsewhere. Students who are in residence and using the
facilities of the University must register for such work.
Grading System
The performance of students in graduate courses is recorded
by the instructor, using the following grades:
A Excellent
For performance of high graduate caliber
B Satisfactory
For performance at a satisfactory level
C Fair
For performance not at the level expected in graduate work
F Failure
For unsatisfactory performance
I Incomplete
For failure to complete course work
The designation "I" will be changed to a grade upon removal
of the deficiencies which caused the "I" to be reported. Defi-
ciencies must be removed within a period stipulated by the pro-
fessor.
Any student who wishes to take a make-up examination must
obtain permission from the professor teaching the course. A rea-
sonable time period for the examination is discussed with and
set by the professor.
Class Hours and Credits
All credits at Northeastern University are entered as quarter-
hour credits, with a quarter hour of credit being equivalent to
three-fourths of a semester hour: i.e., 12 semester hours are equal
to 16 quarter hours.
All classes in the Graduate Program in Criminal Justice meet
on a quarter basis, with an academic quarter defined as a term
of approximately 12 weeks' duration. The academic calendar in
the front of this bulletin should be consulted to determine the
opening dates of each quarter.
30 / COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE GRADUATE PROGRAM
Continuity of Program
Students are expected to maintain continuous progress toward
a degree. Any student who does not attend Northeastern for a
period of one year must apply for readmission.
Withdrawals
In order to withdraw from a course, a student must fill out an
official withdrawal form obtained at the Registrar's Office. With-
drawals may be made through the ninth class meeting of the
quarter. Students will be withdrawn as of the date on which they
complete the form. Ceasing to attend a class or notifying the in-
structor does not constitute an official withdrawal. Petitions for
withdrawal from a course after the ninth class meeting of the
quarter must be submitted to the Director of the Graduate Pro-
gram, and may be approved to avert unusual hardships on the
student.
Students who do not attend the first two sessions will be dropped
from the class unless they notify the Registrar of their intention
to continue.
Changes in Requirements
The continuing development of the Graduate Program requires
occasional revision of curricula. In every new bulletin, some im-
provements are indicated. When changes impose no hardships
on the student and school facilities permit, the student is ex-
pected to meet the requirements of the latest bulletin. If the stu-
dent finds it impossible to meet these requirements, the bulletin
for the year in which he entered becomes the binding one.
Application for the Diploma
If a commencement card is not filed with the Registrar's Office
on or before the applicable date listed on the calendar, there is
no assurance that the degree will be granted in that particular
year, even though all other requirements have been fulfilled.
THE MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE
Admission Requirements for Degree Candidacy
All applications for graduate study in Criminal Justice are re-
viewed by the Graduate Admissions Committee and must include:
1. A completed application accompanied by a nonrefundable
$15 application fee.
COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE GRADUATE PROGRAM / 31
2. Official transcript(s) from accredited institution(s) as evidence
of earning a baccalaureate degree with a gradepoint aver-
age of approximately 3.0 or higher.
3. Official scores from the aptitude test of the Graduate Record
Examination or Law School Aptitude Test; above-average
scores are preferred.
4. Three letters of recommendation from academic, profes-
sional, or personal sources; academic references are pre-
ferred.
5. An essay of not more than 400 words which expresses aca-
demic and personal objectives.
No one factor is used to select candidates for the program.
The Graduate Admissions Committee receives all applications and
considers a variety of factors, including previous work experience
and professional potential, in addition to academic record and
test scores. When possible, students are asked to participate in
an admissions interview to help the Committee make a complete
evaluation.
Consideration for admission is given only after all application
material, including the $15 application fee, has been received by
the Graduate Program in Criminal Justice.
Student Classifications
Students whose credentials meet the criteria listed above are
classified as full- or part-time regular students.
Part-time provisional students are individuals who did not meet
admission standards but who, in the opinion of the Graduate
Committee, have the potential for graduate work. Applicants for
full- or part-time regular status whose credentials do not warrant
acceptance are automatically considered for part-time provisional
status.
Upon completion of 12 quarter hours of course work at North-
eastern, the provisional student must request a transfer to regular
student status in the Graduate Program. To be considered for
transfer, 6 of the 12 credits must be from required courses offered
by the Graduate Program in Criminal Justice with a grade of at
least B. An overall cumulative grade average of B must be main-
tained in courses taken outside the College of Criminal Justice.
Special students may take courses on a nondegree basis only
by obtaining permission from individual instructors. Should a
special student desire admission to the degree program as a reg-
ular student, he/she must meet standard admission requirements.
Up to 12 credits (no more than two courses per quarter) may be
32 / COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE GRADUATE PROGRAM
taken as a special student before applying for admission. All
courses must result in a grade of B or better; if 12 credits have
been completed, 6 must be from required courses.
Academic Requirements for the Master's Degree
All candidates for the Master's Degree in Criminal Justice are
required to complete the following:
1. A total of 42 hours of course credit.
2. Thirty-six of the total 42 hours completed in classroom work,
18 of which are required courses and 18 elective courses.
3. Completion of an acceptable thesis valued at 6 credits.
4. Satisfactory performance on a comprehensive written ex-
amination. Full- and part-time students may apply to take the
comprehensive examination when they have completed all
course requirements.
Students in the program must earn a grade of B or above in
all required and elective courses offered within the Graduate Pro-
gram in Criminal Justice. An average of B or above is also re-
quired in all other elective courses taken within the University.
Each student is expected to maintain an overall average of B or
better in all course work to remain in the program.
Within the above limitations, a criminal justice required or elec-
tive course for which a grade of F is received, must be repeated
with a grade of B or better, and may be repeated only once. If a
grade of F is received in a University elective course, that course
may be repeated once to obtain a grade of C or better, or another
elective course may be substituted. If a grade of C is received in
a required course, provisions may be made with the professor to
correct the deficiency.
Program Selection
Upon acceptance as a degree candidate, the student is as-
signed a temporary adviser in his/her major area of concentra-
tion. In consultation with his/her adviser, the student develops a
program of study, including program objectives, anticipated
courses, and estimated dates of completion of the various degree
requirements. The temporary adviser also helps the student select
a thesis committee which assists him/her in all academic matters,
as well as in the development and completion of the thesis.
Transfer Credits
Individuals who have been enrolled in other graduate degree
programs, who have earned a graduate degree, or who have
COLLEGE OF CRIMINAL JUSTICE GRADUATE PROGRAM / 33
taken graduate courses on a nondegree basis may be granted
credit at the discretion of the Graduate Committee. A maximum
of 12 quarter hours of credit from another institution is acceptable
providing it meets specified requirements. Courses should be the
equivalent of or comparable to courses offered in the Graduate
Program in Criminal Justice. If accepted, each course represents
3 quarter hours of credit. A petition for transfer of credit, obtain-
able from the College of Criminal Justice, together with official
transcripts and course descriptions from the institution(s) at-
tended, must be provided before committee action will be taken.
Comprehensive Examination
Each candidate takes a comprehensive examination no later
than one month prior to the expected date of graduation. This
examination may be taken when the candidate has completed all
course requirements, as the subjects tested are commensurate
with the student's area of concentration.
A grade of B or better must be achieved in the examination. A
student who fails may be given a reexamination under conditions
determined by the Director of the Graduate Program or his desig-
nate.
Thesis
Each candidate must submit a thesis which exhibits his re-
search ability and increases his scope of individual specialization.
The thesis proposal is submitted for approval to the candidate's
thesis committee: a chairman and one or two members proposed
by the student. Once approved, the thesis committee serves as an
advisory board on idea development. The completed thesis must
be approved by the thesis committee, graduate committee, and
Director of the Graduate Program.

lated activities. Students have the opportunity to apply theoretical
concepts in a practical, applied fashion by observing and con-
tributing to the daily activities of operating agencies and organi-
zations.
92.860 Conflict Management in Criminal Justice
An examination of problems in conflict management. Concepts
and definitions of social conflict, and comparisons between
functional and dysfunctional conflict are explored. Inquiries into
representative conflict management strategies and techniques
are made, which afford the opportunity to relate general theory

tem. Integration, rebellion, and institutionalization are subjects of
discussion.
92.830 History of Police in the United States
A review of the history of police activities in the United States,
emphasizing black community relations. The study of previous
policy provides a broad, revealing perspective from which to view
contemporary departments. From this framework, the class anal-
yzes societal expectations of the police.
92.808 Criminal Behavior, Psychiatry, and the Public
An introduction to the field of psychiatric criminology which exam-
COURSES / 51
ines the known psychological sources of criminal behavior. Psy-
chiatric concepts are applied to crime prevention, the examina-
tion and rehabilitation of the offender, and the legislative process.
92.862 Drug Abuse, Mental Health, and the Public
An introductory course concerning drug abuse. The mental health
and medico-legal aspects of the problem are emphasized by con-
centrating on the areas of prevention and rehabilitation, public
attitudes on drug abuse, and drug abuse education.
92.905 Legal Issues in Criminal Justice
An in-depth study of contemporary legal questions faced by crim-
inal justice professionals. Emphasis is placed on constitutional
probems, and the judicial review of administrative decisions made
by criminal justice organizations. Topics to be considered are:
selected provisions of the United States Constitution with partic-
ular emphasis on amendments 4, 5, 6, and 14; questions of elec-
tronic surveillance; right to counsel; line-up, bail, and right to
speedy trial; sentencing; legal aspects of probation and parole;
and prisoners' rights.
92.808 Criminal Behavior, Psychiatry, and the Public
An introduction to the field of psychiatric criminology. Examines
current knowledge of the psychological sources of criminal be-
havior and the application of psychiatric concepts to the area of
crime prevention, the examination and rehabilitation of the of-
fender, and the legislative process.
92.812 Management Issues in Law Enforcement
An analysis of controversial issues confronting the law enforce-
ment administrator in determining policy and directing pro-
cedures. Current and planning practices are critiqued from the
standpoint of rapidly accelerating innovation and a changing
value system.
92.811 Contemporary Problems in Corrections
A seminar focusing on the current crisis facing the American
correctional system. It is designed to provide the student with
a working perspective on some of the most salient issues in the
field today: to critically reexamine the important precepts for cor-
rections which have heretofore been treated as given; to analyze
52 / COURSES
contemporary problems in the light of corrections relationship to
the other components of the criminal justice system; to explore
avenues to more effective ways to deal with alleged and con-
victed offenders. The theoretical focus and general perspective
of the seminar is sociological.
92.801 The Ombudsman
An examination of the concept of the ombudsman as an intervenor
for justice. The ombudsman, as a government official to check on
government, is an established post in several European coun-
tries, particularly Scandinavia. In this country ombudsmen have
already appeared in such diverse institutions as hospitals, city
halls, prisons, and universities, and a number of states have estab-
lished ombudsman offices. It has been urged that ombudsmen are
needed at the various levels of American government. Massa-
chusetts considered two ombudsman bills in this session of the
legislature: One would create the Office of Ombudsman for Cor-
rections; the other would create the Office of Residential Care
Ombudsman for the Commonwealth. In this course, the readings
and lectures will be supplemented by the appearance of knowl-
edgeable guest speakers if possible.
92.813 Correctional Administration
Concentration is on a general systems approach to organizational
design and management in corrections. The major focus of the
course is on the application of the managerial process, which
places emphasis on the organization's totality, regarding it as "an
organized or complex whole." As such, the general system ap-
proach views an organization's subsystems as secondary in im-
portance to the primary system, and as mutually interdependent,
and holds, as axiomatic, that subsystems cannot be altered with-
out affecting other subparts of the whole. It is the object of the
course to critically examine the organization and administration
of the "corrections system" within and among the various polit-
ical jurisdictions of the United States; to analyze administrative
practices; to determine those processes which may encourage,
facilitate, and develop more effective, efficient, innovative, eco-
nomical, and humane organizational systems in corrections.
92.815 Deviance and Criminal Justice
A critical examination of existing theories about deviant behavior
— crime, juvenile delinquency, substance abuse, mental illness,
homosexuality, and prostitution — ; how they are used as general-
COURSES / 53
ized ways to approach deviance, and their possible implications
for the development of a more comprehensive, general theory of
deviant behavior. The relationship of social control to deviance,
from purely reciprocal societal reactions to deviance to social
control as an independent or "causal" variable of various forms
of individual and social deviation, will be explored.

the university
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is incorporated as a privately
endowed nonsectarian institution of higher learning under the General
Laws of Massachusetts. The State Legislature by special enactment has
given the University general degree-granting powers. The University is
governed by a Board of Trustees elected by and from the Northeastern
University Corporation, which is composed of 178 distinguished business
and professional men and women.
From its beginning, Northeastern University has had as its dominant pur-
pose the discovery of community educational needs and the meeting of
these in distinctive and serviceable ways. The University has not duplicated
the programs of other institutions, but has sought to pioneer new areas of
educational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University is its Cooperative Plan,
initiated by the College of Engineering in 1909 and subsequently adopted
by the Colleges of Business Administration (1922), Liberal Arts (1935),
Education (1953), Pharmacy (1962), Nursing (1964); Boston-Bouve College
(1964); the College of Criminal Justice (1967); and by Lincoln College's
daytime Bachelor of Engineering Technology program (1971). This
educational method enables students to gain valuable practical experience
as an integral part of their college program and also provides the means by
which they may contribute substantially to the financing of their education.

the University to the needs of its community in a period of accelerated
change. Adult education programs offered by the Center and University
College have since been consolidated. Its programs are composed of
seminars, conferences, institutes, forums, and a wide variety of special
courses designed to serve specific needs. The Division of Special
Programs, working cooperatively with trade associations and professional
societies, offers a wide variety of programs dealing with current needs and
problems. Through its Division of Community Services, working with
governmental agencies and community organizations, the Center is becom-
ing increasingly involved in social problems on both the local and national
level.
Many of these programs are conducted at Henderson House, North-
eastern University's conference center in Weston, Massachusetts.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The facilities of the University are engaged in a wide variety of basic
research projects in business, science, social science, pharmacy, and
engineering. These are coordinated by the Dean of Research, whose ser-
vices are University-wide and available to the faculties of all the Colleges.
Although Northeastern is primarily concerned with undergraduate and
graduate instruction, the University believes that the most effective teaching
and learning take place in an environment characterized by research ac-
tivities directed toward extending the frontiers of knowledge.

GENERAL REGULATIONS
The general regulations and minimum requirements for all graduate
programs are established by the Northeastern University Graduate Council.
In some matters the committee of each graduate school is allowed discre-
tion to establish regulations within limits defined by the council. The
regulations and academic requirements which follow have been formulated
in accordance with this general policy.
23
24 / THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Registration
Students must register within the period listed on the school calendar.
Time and place of registration will be announced prior to each period.
Residence
All work for advanced degrees must be completed at the University un-
less approval has been obtained from the Director of the Graduate School
for work taken elsewhere. Students who are in residence and are using the
facilities of the University must register for such work.
Grading System
The performance of students in graduate courses will be recorded by the
instructor by use of the following grades:
A Excellent
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
has been of very high graduate caliber.
B Satisfactory
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
has been at a satisfactory level.
C Fair
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
is not at the level expected in graduate work.
F Failure
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
is unsatisfactory.
In addition, the following letter designations are used:
I Incomplete
This grade is given to those students who fail to complete the work of
the course.
L Audit without credit.
S Satisfactory without quality designation.
U Unsatisfactory without quality designation.
These two grades are used for the first quarter of a two -quarter se-
quence in which the grade for the second quarter applies to both the
first and second quarters of the sequence.
The I grade will be changed to a letter grade upon removal of the
deficiency which caused the grade of I to be reported. Deficiencies must be
made up within the quarter following that for which the grade of I is received
unless an extension of time is granted by the instructor. However, such ex-
tension of time may not exceed two additional consecutive calendar
quarters.
Any student who wishes to take a final make-up examination must obtain
permission of the Director of the Graduate School by the second week of
the quarter succeeding that in which the examination was missed. The
THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION / 25
make-up examination must be taken in that succeeding quarter unless cir-
cumstances warrant permission of the Director to defer it to one of the next
two quarters.
Auditing
A student may audit a course without credit by obtaining, prior to
registration, the written approval of the instructor of the course involved
and by presenting this permit at the Office of the Graduate School of
Education. No change either to or from the audit status may be made after
the first day of classes. Tuition for an audit course is the same as for a
course taken for credit.
Class Hours and Credits
All credits are entered as quarter hours. A quarter hour of credit is
equivalent to three-fourths of a semester hour credit. The academic calen-
dar at the front of this bulletin should be consulted in order to determine the
opening and closing dates of each quarter. It should be noted that most
classes meet either in the late afternoon or evening.
Continuity of Program
Students are expected to maintain continuous progress toward a degree.
Any student who has been admitted to a degree program, has completed at
least one course, but has not attended for a period of one year, must notify
the Office of the Graduate School of Education prior to additional registra-
tion. In addition, he must meet with his program adviser to make any
necessary program adjustments.
Withdrawals
In order to withdraw from a course, a student must fill out an official
withdrawal form obtained at the Registrar's Office or at the Burlington Cam-
pus Office. Withdrawals may be made through the ninth week of the
quarter. Students will be withdrawn as of the date on which they fill out the
form. Ceasing to attend a class or notifying the instructor does not con-
stitute an official withdrawal. See section on financial information for infor-
mation on refunds.
Changes in Requirements
The continuing development of the graduate school forces frequent revi-
sion of curricula. In every new bulletin some improvements are indicated.
When no hardship is imposed on the student because of changes, and
when the facilities of the school permit, the student is expected to meet the
requirements of the latest bulletin. If the student finds it impossible to meet
these requirements, the bulletin for the year in which he entered becomes
the binding one.
26 / THE GRADUATE SCHOOL OF EDUCATION
Application for the Degree
If a commencement card is not filed with the Registrar's Office on or
before the applicable date listed on the calendar, there is no assurance that
the degree will be granted in that particular year even though all other re-
quirements have been fulfilled.
Honor Society
Northeastern University has on campus the Kappa Zeta Chapter of Kap-
pa Delta Pi. A national honor society in education, Kappa Delta Pi was
founded in 1911 at the University of Illinois. Kappa Zeta Chapter was in-
stalled on May 29, 1964.

FINANCIAL AID
The Office of Financial Aid offers two types of Federal assistance to
graduate students: the National Direct Student Loan and Work-Study. All
awards are based on financial need. Aid granted from these programs
sponsored by the Federal Government is dependent upon the amount of
funds allocated to Northeastern University.
Northeastern University is a participant in the Graduate and Professional
School Financial Aid Service (GAPSFAS). All applicants for financial aid
must file a GAPSFAS form in order to be considered. This form may be ob-
tained from the financial aid officer at the institution which the student now
attends or from the Northeastern University Office of Financial Aid. All sec-
tions of the GAPSFAS form must be completed and sent to the Graduate
and Professional School Financial Aid Service, Box 2614, Princeton, New
Jersey 08540. No decision on an application for financial aid will be made
until the GAPSFAS form is received.
Only students who have been officially accepted as degree candidates to
a graduate school of Northeastern University may apply for financial aid.
The University does not award financial assistance to students who are not
citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
National Direct Student Loan
Under the National Direct Student Loan program, students may be al-
lowed to borrow as much as $2,500 per academic year; however, the total
FINANCIAL INFORMATION / 31
amount borrowed must not exceed $10,000 for the student's entire un-
dergraduate and graduate program. Repayment and interest on these
iloans do not begin until nine months after the student ceases to carry at
least a half-time academic load. The repayment of the principal may be ex-
tended over a ten-year period with an interest rate of 3% per annum.
College Work-Study Program
The College Work-Study Program is sponsored by the Federal Govern-
ment. It is designed to give students an opportunity to earn as much as
$3.50 per hour working in jobs on or off campus in public or private non-
profit organizations. This program is administered solely by the Office of
Financial Aid and is not to be confused with the University's cooperative
education program.
Guaranteed Student Loan Program
A prime means of financial assistance is the Guaranteed Student Loan
Program. Because of the easy availability of this loan relative to other types
of financial assistance, it is recommended that all applicants for aid first
seek assistance from this source. Students may receive guaranteed loans
of up to $2500 per academic year from their local banks. Repayment of the
principal and interest need not begin until nine months after the student
ceases to carry at least a half-time academic load.
Martin Luther King, Jr., Scholarships
Established in 1969 in memory of the late Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.
Awards are made as openings occur to qualified minority graduate
students who show financial need and are accepted to full-time study in the
graduate schools of the University. Stipends will cover tuition and all fees.
Dr. Reubin J. Margolin Memorial Scholarship Fund
The Dr. Reubin J. Margolin Memorial Scholarship Fund was established
in 1973 through the generosity of the family and friends of Dr. Reubin J.
Margolin, an outstanding and dedicated individual and friend who, at the
time of his death on April 6, 1972, was Chairman of the Department of
Rehabilitation and Special Education at Northeastern University.
The income from the Dr. Reubin J. Margolin Memorial Scholarship Fund
is awarded annually to a deserving student admitted to or enrolled in the
College of Education or the Graduate School of Education and majoring in
Rehabilitation and/or Special Education. Recipients must demonstrate
financial need as well as the personal and professional qualities exemplified
by Dr. Margolin.
The Office of Financial Aid does not award Graduate Assistantships or
Fellowships. For further information regarding such assistance, students
should contact their graduate school office.
32 / FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Graduate Administrative Assistantships
Some University departments offer the graduate student an opportunity
for remission of tuition and a stipend in return for half time spent in
assisting with nonteaching, administrative duties. In all cases the student!
must register for a half-time academic load. It is assumed that applicants
for such assistantships will be enrolled in a two-year program.
Tuition Assistantships
These appointments offer tuition waiver only. Graduate students given
this type of appointment are assigned duties in the department requiring an
average of 8 hours per week. They must register for a full-time academic
load.
Teaching Assistantships
Graduate students given this type of appointment assist in the work of in-
structional departments or other offices of the University. The appointee
may be assigned to class instruction, laboratory supervision, correcting
papers and proctoring examinations. Including necessary preparation time,
assigned duties require about 18 to 20 hours per week.
The student must register for a half-time academic load. It is assumed
that applicants for such assistantships will be enrolled in a two-year
program.
Traineeships
Graduate students given these appointments must devote full time to
graduate work in accordance with the stipulation of the appointment. These
appointments are made from traineeships available from NASA, NSF,
NDEA, and other government grants to the University. They may be for 9 to
12 months.
Appointments
Appointments to fellowships and assistantships are ordinarily announced
no later than April 15 for the following academic year or summer. Ap-
pointments are for a maximum of one year and are not automatically
renewed. Students who hold assistantships are expected to devote full time
to their studies and the duties of the award. They may not accept outside
employment without the consent of their faculty adviser and the Director of
the Graduate School.
Dormitory Proctorships
A number of proctorships in men's dormitories on or near the Huntington
Avenue campus are available each year. Appointments carry a minimum
compensation of room and board. Further information and application
forms may be obtained from the Associate Dean of Students for Housing,

the graduate level for graduate credit, carry grades of A or B, have been
earned at an accredited institution, and have not been used toward any
other degree. Students should petition the Director of the Graduate School
in writing for all transfer credit by completing the necessary form, ob-
tainable from either the office of the Graduate School of Education or the
faculty adviser. The completed form must be submitted to the Director of
the Graduate School of Education along with an official transcript and an

DOCTOR OF EDUCATION DEGREE
Admission
Applicants for admission to the Doctor of Education degree program
must file evidence of a master's degree or its equivalent from an accredited
institution and such other materials as required by the Graduate School of
Education. Materials will be accepted from applicants who are currently
enrolled in graduate studies and who expect to obtain the master's degree
within two terms of the time of application.
Students who have graduated from or are currently enrolled as regular
CAGS students in the Graduate School of Education may apply for the doc-
toral degree program. Although most CAGS course work is applicable,
there are different admissions criteria and formal application must be
made. Conversely, regular doctoral students who either choose not to com-
plete the doctoral program or are disqualified from continuing, may make
formal application to transfer to the CAGS program.
As part of the application procedure, the applicant must declare a major
field of specialization, submit a written statement of purpose for pursuing
doctoral study, and if requested, meet with an admissions committee for
further evaluation. Applications to the Doctor of Education degree program
will be acted upon twice yearly, for September or March (Fall or Spring
Quarter matriculation). Application materials must be completed at least a
quarter prior to the time the student is seeking admission or the candidate's
application will automatically be forwarded for inclusion in the next action
period. Within this period candidates will be informed of their admission
status as soon as possible.

Counselor Education
PROGRAMS
General Information
The Department of Counselor Education offers several concentrations
within two major program clusters: School and College Counseling and
Community and Rehabilitation Counseling. Each of the concentrations in
these clusters is described on the following pages. Prospective students
should apply to one of the two clusters.
The master's degree requirements may be completed by full-time
students in four quarters or one calendar year. However, the Department
considers these programs to be minimal and urges most students to take
an additional year of study leading to the CAGS.
The practicum sequence (53.805-53.806) including the concurrently re-
quired counseling course (53.804) is offered only on a sequential basis
beginning in the fall quarter. Part-time students may not begin this se-
quence until their second year of study. They must apply for practicum
placement by April 1 of the spring preceding practicum placement.
Full-time students (eligible for practicum) will be asked to complete a
practicum application either at the time of their group interview or im-
mediately upon acceptance. In general, students should expect to spend
two days (or twelve hours) weekly at their practicum sites between October
1 and June 15. Placements are made by matching student interests and ex-
perience with practicum site availability. Field site supervisors have the op-
tion of accepting or rejecting recommended students for placement in their
setting. Arrangements for practicum site placement will be completed, in
general, by August 1.
Some students, with special permission, may be able to use their place of
employment as a practicum site provided arrangements for supplementary
experience are made with their advisers.
Candidates for admission to summer and fall quarters must complete
application materials no later than the preceding April 15. After the applica-
tion materials are submitted, applicants will be notified by mail of dates for
small group interviews with other candidates and college staff. Acceptance
decisions for both part-time and full-time applicants will be mailed between
April 1 and May 31.
Internships — Financial Aid
No financial aid in the form of scholarships or grants is available to
students through the Department. Students should consult the Financial
Aid Office of the University for information as to what is available to
graduate students. However, the Department does try to develop paid
Internships in various work settings as both a means to ease the financial
burden and to provide a more extensive work experience. The numbers of
internships are limited, and they are not necessarily available in all
FIELDS OF STUDY/ 49
programs. Their availability is entirely dependent on the interest and ability
of schools or agencies to make money available for an internship position.
The opportunity for professional development makes the Internship es-
pecially attractive, and any interested student is encouraged to apply. No
placements can be guaranteed, however. Applications for internships and
additional information are available from the Department of Counselor
Education or from the Graduate School Admissions Office.
Core Curriculum Requirements
In addition to three Foundations of Education core requirements de-
scribed on page 47, all program choices in the Department have a common
core of required courses as follows:
53.800 Philosophical Foundations of Guidance and Human Services
53.801 Tests and Test Procedures
53.804 Counseling Theory and Process
53.805-53.806 Counseling Practicum
One of the following:
53.813 School Counseling Strategies
53.814 Vocational Counseling Strategies
53.815 Rehabilitation Counseling Strategies
53.816 Psychological Counseling Strategies
The Counseling Practicum is always specific to the particular concentra-
tion to which the student has been admitted. These core requirements con-
stitute nine of the twelve courses required for the master's degree. The
remaining three courses will be selected in consultation with the adviser.
These course selections must be approved by the adviser prior to registra-
tion.
School and College Counseling Programs
Program concentrations in this cluster include preparation for positions
in elementary school counseling, secondary school counseling, career
education, college counseling, student personnel, and cooperative educa-
tion.
Elementary Counseling Program
The Elementary School Counseling Program prepares students to: 1)
help children to grow in self-understanding and in positive fuller use of
potential; 2) help parents to understand the developmental needs of all
pupils and work with parents to meet the individual needs of their own
children in the school situation; 3) participate in creating a school environ-
ment conducive to learning and growth for all children; and 4) participate in
curriculum development and change. The training focuses on developing
competencies in individual counseling, group counseling, consulting,
50 /FIELDS OF STUDY
testing, and parent counseling. Students are prepared to work with
children, parents, and teachers in schools and related settings.
Elementary Counseling Practicum placements are made in a variety of
urban and suburban elementary schools and in child guidance clinics.

Secondary Counseling Program
The Secondary School Counseling Program assumes that there are
things which the school counselor can do to make the school a better place
in which to learn and to teach. Various ways in which the guidance person
can work with pupils, parents, teachers, administrators, and community
agencies as a counselor, as a consultant, and as a coordinator are
emphasized. The focus of the program is on the practical background
knowledge and the specific skills the counselor needs for helping students
to learn more effectively, to make decisions more maturely, and to achieve
personal fulfillment more completely.
Secondary Counseling practicum placements are made in a variety of ur-
ban and suburban secondary schools and school outreach programs.

Career Education Program
The Career Education Program is designed to prepare students for a
variety of counselor-type roles within the career education orientation.
These newly emerging roles within the broad field of career education en-
compass three specific dimensions of training: 1) the organization and
utilization of career information as a resource; 2) the development of job
placement — job counseling skills; and 3) the innovation of appropriate
curriculum practices and revisions. The program is designed so that at the
practicum phase of their training students can be placed in field settings
where they can obtain actual experience in all three of these dimensions of
career education. This program is intended for students who have ex-
perience and/or an interest in working with school-age youth — grades
kindergarten to twelve — in the area of career development and work
placement.
Career Education Specialist Practicum placements are made in both
comprehensive and vocational-technical schools where there is an
emphasis on career education and/or work-study type programs.

College Counseling and Student Personnel Services Program
Preparation for both college counseling and student personnel positions
is similar and based on the assumption that the student personnel worker
must have the human relations skills of the counselor, and the counselor
must have an understanding of both the learning development needs of
students and the instructional environment of the college setting. Graduates
will have a basic knowledge of vocational development and career plan-
ning, information-gathering, interviewing techniques, decision-making stra-
tegies, and group process. Students may then choose to emphasize the
counseling role in the counseling center or the student personnel role,
which is more programmatic, within the institution. Practicum placements
can be varied to suit individual interests. Positions for graduates may in-
clude counseling in junior colleges or residence halls; counseling in finan-
cial aid, student activities, or admissions offices; or that of assistant to a
dean of students.
College Counseling and Student Personnel Practicum placements are
made in a variety of junior college, college, and university settings in the
Greater Boston area. In addition to counseling center placements, there are
FIELDS OF STUDY/ 53
placements in residence halls, financial aid offices, and other student per-
sonnel program offices. Placements are also made in such higher educa-
tion related settings as the Center for Alternative Education, a personal
development program.

Cooperative Education Program
The rapid expansion of cooperative education programs in higher educa-
tion throughout the United States has increased the need for trained per-
sons to staff the centers that coordinate and operate these programs.
Northeastern University is the largest cooperative education institution in
the world, and as such, can provide an excellent opportunity for the student
interested in this aspect of higher education. At the master's level the
preparation emphasizes a counseling base because the coordinator's
prime role involves student contact. The three major elements in the coor-
dinator's role are 1) vocational decision-making counseling; 2) work place-
ment and work evaluation; and 3) curriculum development within the in-
stitution. The coordination function involves providing links between the
student and his educational program, and the employer and his work set-
ting. These two elements are combined to produce a total educational ex-
perience for the student. Preparation beyond the master's degree can lead
to careers in student personnel, counseling, higher education administra-
tion, or cooperative education administration.
Cooperative Education Coordinator placements will be made in the Divi-
sion of Cooperative Education, Northeastern University, and in other
colleges and junior colleges in the area that have or are developing
cooperative education programs.

Counseling Programs
This cluster provides applied training in three programmatic areas of
study: Community Services Counseling (preventive mental health),
Rehabilitation Counseling and Community Mental Health Counseling.
These programs emphasize three aspects of professional development:
field-based training, didactic learning and personal growth. Field-based
training is accomplished through extensive practicum work in clinics and
agencies in the metropolitan Boston area; didactic learning occurs in
graduate courses and practicum supervision on campus and in the field.
Personal growth is encouraged through consultation with program ad-
visers, field supervisors and in group counseling courses.
Community Services Program
The Community Services counseling program is designed to prepare
students to work in a variety of human services agencies providing preven-
tive mental health, informational, supportive and recreational services for
broad segments of the population regarded as behaving normally. Much of
the work could be categorised as preventive community health. Graduates
will have a basic knowledge of vocational development and career plan-
ning, information-gathering, interviewing techniques and decision-making
strategies. They will have a knowledge of psychometrics, adolescent and
adult personality development, procedures in educational and vocational
placement and the utilization of multiple helping agencies in meeting
clients' needs. They will have skills in individual and small group counseling
and decision-making procedures.

Curriculum and Instruction (Including Programs in Reading)
The programs in Curriculum and Instruction are appropriate for certified
or experienced teachers who wish to prepare for instructional leadership
and curriculum development responsibilities, who wish to expand their
professional backgrounds in subject matter or pedagogy, or who wish to
achieve reading certification.
This program will enable its graduates:
(1) to view the educational process as an ongoing activity embodying
both continuity in each of its parts and inter-relatedness among its
parts;
(2) to plan and institute learning activities which promote continuity and
inter-relatedness;
(3) to evaluate and modify appropriately existing programs and prac-
tices in their special fields;
FIELDS OF STUDY/ 59
(4) to identify educational needs, analyze them, and develop suitable
plans to meet them;
(5) to institute desired changes in educational practice.
The following roles are some of those for which graduates of the program
will be prepared:
(1) specialist in a particular content area, such as reading, mathematics,
science, social studies, English-language arts, at one or more levels
— elementary, secondary, or adult education;
(2) curriculum specialist in a variety of educational settings;
(3) instructional specialist such as team leader, conductor of workshops,
master teacher, and so forth, in a school or other educational setting.
The Master of Education in Curriculum and Instruction is divided into
four basic areas of study:
1 . Master of Education Core
2. Curriculum and Instruction Core
The Curriculum and Instruction Core consists of two sequential
courses which individually and together emphasize a unitary view of
the processes of curriculum development and instructional practices
at all levels of education and in all school subjects. The Curriculum
and Instruction Core is taught jointly by members of the Department,
and students have the unique opportunity of studying with a wide
range of faculty, each contributing his individual expertise and
perspective within the context of the common purpose.
3. Specialization
A specialization consists of a number of courses constructed around a
broad area through which students can pursue their specific interests
while at the same time keeping sight of larger contexts. The courses
are taught jointly by members of the Department of Curriculum and
Instruction, grouped according to the commonalities among their sub-
jects, thus giving students the opportunity to work within a context
which, while recognizing the discreteness of a subject, at the same
time encourages recognition of what this subject shares with its
fellows in its area.
Students will normally select one area of specialization from those
listed below, depending upon their background and interests.
Students whose interests lie outside the above areas will be permitted
to design, with their advisers, a program to meet their needs. Students
seeking reading certification will fulfill the state requirements by com-
pleting the courses in the Reading specialization.
4. Electives
The elective portion of the Curriculum and Instruction Program will
enable students to pursue other areas of interest which will comple-
ment or extend their area of specialization. Electives can be selected
broadly from the offerings of the Graduate Schools of the University.

Interrelated Programs in Special Education
Interrelated programs in Special Education offer options to prepare for
work with individuals having mild to moderate special needs (emotional dis-
turbance, learning disabilities, mental retardation) or those having severe
handicaps in one or more of the above areas. In addition, a concentration in
preschool handicapped is available. For those planning to work outside the
classroom with schools and/or public or private agencies, there is the
program of Special Education Community Personnal (SECP).
In all but the SECP program, eligibility for certification at the elementary
or secondary level is the prerequisite for a student to begin concentrating
on the special education sequence. Students lacking the above may earn
certification through satisfactory completion of prescribed courses in
elementary or secondary education at Northeastern. Applicants certified at
the secondary level may need additional preparation in areas of reading,
mathematics, and methods and materials, at the elementary level, to obtain
additional background for work with individuals with special needs.

Degree candidates must demonstrate competency in child psychology,
abnormal psychology, and introductory statistics through previous course
work or they will be required to complete such course work before
graduating. The statistics course may be fulfilled by satisfactory completion
of the programmed learning course in statistics given at the University.
An option leading to certification in a single area, providing the student
enters the program with elementary or secondary teaching certification, or
completion of the SECP program, will normally require four to five quarters
of full-time graduate study, preferably beginning in the Summer Quarter. A
student who needs to obtain the above certification should expect to spend
additional time completing the program.
Field Work and Student Teaching or Practicum placements are an in-
tegral part of the Master's Degree program. All students are required to do
two quarters of Field Work and one quarter of Student Teaching or Prac-
ticum. Educational settings utilized for field work include public and private
schools, day and residential programs, and hospital-based educational
facilities.
A sequenced program will be developed in consultation with the major
adviser based upon the student's background, experience, and interests. It
will include basic requirements of the graduate school, the Division, and the
State Department of Teacher Certification, where appropriate. Massachu-
setts' State Department of Education is currently granting Letters of Ap-
proval until final certification requirements are established. Electives will be
drawn from other programs as warranted.
Completion of all programs in special education is contingent upon the
candidate's demonstration of competency in specified fields of knowledge
and skills as measured by academic success and satisfactory completion of
Field Work and Student Teaching or Practicum. A comprehensive examina-
tion will be taken during the quarter in which the student completes nine
courses related to the Special Education degree, other than elementary or
secondary teaching certification courses.
Students should apply for admission for either the summer or fall
quarters. All admissions materials must be complete by April 15 for con-
sideration for either of these two quarters.
Financial Aid — Traineeships
A limited number of traineeships through Federal grants is anticipated
for 1976-1977. The student in need of financial help should discuss the
matter during the interview with the Division faculty member. The Depart-
ment has also attempted to develop paid internships in a variety of settings
in order to offer students other opportunities for professional development
as well as a means of financial assistance. Students selected for an in-
ternship will need to plan for a program extending over approximately two
years. (Refer also to Financial Aid, page 30.)

NONDEGREE PROGRAM FOR CERTIFICATION
OF ELEMENTARY AND SECONDARY TEACHERS
This program is designed to qualify college graduates for certification as
elementary or secondary teachers in the Commonwealth. Students who are
interested in qualifying to teach in other states should obtain a copy of that
state's certification requirements and bring it to the initial interview with
their advisers.
This program is open to individuals who meet the general admission re-
quirements for the Master of Education degree. In addition, students whose
backgrounds may not include an approved course in such areas as human
development or learning must take such a course either before they enter
the program or before student teaching. Furthermore, candidates for
secondary certification must have completed, before admission, 36 quarter
hours of courses in the field in which they are preparing to teach, with a
QPA for all courses taken in that field of at least 2.000. No special students
will be admitted to these courses; no transfer of courses or credit will be
allowed.
This is a part-time, integrated, one-year program which begins in the Fall
Quarter and continues through the following Winter and Spring Quarters. It
requires that a student attend classes two nights a week during the Fall and
Winter Quarters and spend full-time (days) as a student teacher in a school
during the Spring Quarter.
The program consists of a sequence of inter-related activities led by a
team of teaching specialists in elementary and secondary education and in
the fields of mathematics, English, reading, science, and history and the
social sciences.

This program does not lead to any degree. However, applicants who are
able to be full-time graduate students may apply for simultaneous admis-
sion to most programs requiring certification in the Graduate School of
Education. Such students may take one or two courses in the degree
program along with the certification courses (except during the Student
Teaching quarter when no courses may be taken), but must complete cer-
tification requirements during the first year of study. Twelve quarter hours
(3 courses) taken in the nondegree program may be used as electives in a
master's program subject to approval of the adviser. Students who cannot
devote full-time to graduate study may apply to master's degree programs
after successful completion of the certification program.
CERTIFICATE OF ADVANCED GRADUATE STUDY
The Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study is available to applicants
who have demonstrated a strong background in the special field of study at
the master's level and who meet the specific requirements of the Graduate
School of Education and the appropriate department. CAGS programs are
offered in the areas of:
Counselor Education
Pupil Personnel Services Administration
School Psychology
Counseling
School
College
Community Mental Health
Rehabilitation
Educational Administration
Cooperative Education
Educational Administration
FIELDS OF STUDY/ 77
Higher Education
Instructional Technology
Rehabilitation and Special Education Administration
All students must complete one of the programs as outlined in the follow-
ing pages. In most cases, the sequence is designed to be very flexible. Any
variations or changes must have the prior recommendation of the major ad-
viser and approval of the Director of the Graduate School of Education.
Counselor Education
The CAGS represents a second year of preparation beyond the master's
degree for the counseling and human services field. This is not a predoc-
toral program but a terminal professional degree program. There are
several major options in the Counselor Education Department: Pupil Per-
sonnel Services Administration, School Psychology, and Counseling
(School, College, Community Mental Health, Rehabilitation). Students with
master's degree work in rehabilitation counseling who wish to emphasize
administrative preparation at the CAGS level should enter the Rehabilita-
tion Administration program.
Each of these counselor education program concentrations presumes
master's level preparation in counseling the equivalent of that offered at the
University. Students whose master's program in Counselor Education
lacked a practicum will be required to take 53.805-53.806 in addition to the
minimum course requirements for the CAGS. Students with master's
degrees in fields other than counseling will, if otherwise admissible, be re-
quired to make up a minimum of five courses from the master's program.
These students will need a minimum of two years to complete the re-
quirements for the CAGS.
In addition to the course requirements, students must pass a com-
prehensive examination (written and/or oral) before the certificate will be
awarded.
After filing all application materials required by the Graduate School,
applicants will be contacted by the Department to arrange for admissions
interviews. Since there is a limited number of spaces in the CAGS program,
early application is urged.
Pupil Personnel Services Administration
Students who have prepared themselves for school counseling positions
and who are interested in leadership positions in guidance and pupil per-
sonnel services should choose this option. The program provides for
further work in counseling, but emphasizes administrative and organiza-
tional preparation for the effective delivery of personnel services to
students. Field work placements will provide for the development of skills
and knowledge in planning, supervision, and delivery of services within the
context of the total educational program of the school system.

general Certificate of Advanced Graduate Study admission requirements,
applicants for the School Psychology program must have at least 24
semester hours (32 quarter hours) of undergraduate work in psychology
and a master's degree in a psychology-related field.
This specialization is sponsored jointly by the Graduate School of Educa-
tion and the Department of Psychology in the College of Liberal Arts.
Applicants for this program will be interviewed by both the Department of
Counselor Education and the Department of Psychology. The admitted stu-
dent will be assigned an adviser from one of these two departments who
will plan the student's program.
Courses to meet the degree and certification requirements will be
selected from the Graduate School of Education and the Department of
Psychology to reflect the following areas of study: learning theory, counsel-
ing strategies and interviewing, psychodiagnosis, remediation, special
education, curriculum, organizational development, school structure, psy-
chopathology, human development.

in both academic and practicum areas, students must pass a written and/or
oral comprehensive examination before the certificate will be awarded.
DOCTOR OF EDUCATION
The Doctor of Education (Ed.D.) degree program in Leadership: Ad-
ministration and Supervision is offered jointly by various departments
within the College of Education and brings together a functional part of
each into a single entity. The area of study, administration and supervision,
is appropriate to any candidate seeking a terminal degree in the related
fields of school administration, rehabilitation administration, and higher
education administration. Each degree candidate is involved in an
academic experience that is an individually developed program of courses
84 /FIELDS OF STUDY
and activities. Such study will contribute to an integration of knowledge
about the theoretical and pragmatic learnings pertaining to the chosen field
of endeavor.
Specific concentrations may be found in elementary and secondary
school administration, school central office administration, administration
of special education, and pupil personnel administration. In addition to the
wide range of school administrative and supervisory specializations, other
program concentrations include rehabilitation administration, administra-
tion of community, junior and four-year colleges, administration of co-
operative education, student personnel administration, and general
educational administrative planning and development.
Although each student's program is individually developed, some
general requirements apply to all. The program consists of approximately
seventy-six quarter hours of study beyond the master's degree. In addition
to course requirements, each student is expected to complete three
quarters of full-time study in residence. Two of these quarters must be con-
secutive (one of which may be in the Summer Quarter), the third may occur
at any time in the program or may be fulfilled through a fulltime internship.
In each student's program, the major field of study must be complemented
by two minor areas of study from offerings in the College of Education and
other colleges within the University. Each student is expected to complete a
doctoral dissertation.
The Doctor of Education degree is awarded to candidates who present
evidence of proficiency, high attainment, and research, competence in their
area of specialization, and who also demonstrate potential for professional
educational leadership.
Following is the general type of program format that will be developed for
each student.

56.851 Student Teaching and Seminar with Special Needs Children
(4 quarter hours each)
Courses designed to satisfy present Massachusetts requirements for teaching
children with special needs.
The courses extend over a full year in a series of experiences as observer, tutor,
and teacher. Students must make available approximately 250 hours or two days per
week for two quarters for field work, then approximately another 250 hours or four
days per week for one quarter for student teaching. Students who are employed and
who cannot devote full days to satisfy these requirements must arrange to be
available evenings, weekends, and summers. Provision for attendance at biweekly
seminars must also be made. Seminars are for the purpose of discussing with other
students and professors issues in teaching special needs children, which arise in the
field. Outside speakers and programs will be arranged to extend this dialogue.
Students who are certified, have a Letter of Approval, or are eligible for the latter
from the Massachusetts State Department of Education as a Special Needs teacher
may not be required to student teach. Student teaching in another area of special
needs or an appropriate elective course may be substituted with the written approval
of the student's academic adviser.
Approval of the academic adviser, in writing, will be required before the student
can do field placement or student teaching. Approval, in writing, of the academic ad-
viser will be required prior to obtaining a waiver of student teaching.
All students, regardless of past experience, certifications, or letters of approval,
will do approximately 250 hours of field work set up and supervised by the University.

tended practicum for SECP or other students who do not need certification. The
courses extend over a full year and cover a series of experiences. Students must
make available a minimum of two days per week for the first two quarters and five full
days per week for the third quarter. Application for field placement is made two
quarters prior to that for which field work is planned. Part-time students who are
employed will need to make provision for evening, weekend, or summer assignments
to satisfy the requirement for field experience, and a full quarter of field work, five
days per week. Provision for attendance at seminars must also be made.
56.870 Administration and Supervision of Special Education
Designed for advanced graduate students preparing for administrative or super-
visory positions in special education programs. Facilities and curriculum ad-
justments, staff roles, methods and content for in-service training, and the use of the
team approach are studied. Field trips to observe and evaluate programs are re-
quired. Prep. 52.810, 52.811 Leadership in Education I & II.

A department may offer a special institute in a specific field of interest from time to
time. The institute may be a collaborative one offered by the several departments in
the College of Education and will usually include a special institute faculty drawn
from resources outside the University, as well as from the CoHege of Education facul-
ty. The institute will focus on a specific area of academic study and may be inter-
disciplinary in nature; it involves total time commitments on the part of participants in
morning, afternoon, and evening sessions five or six days per week for one to eight
weeks, depending upon the nature and scope of the institute. Institutes are
customarily designed for participants who are currently employed in a common field
of work and who are desirous of receiving additional preparation in new methods,
new materials, and new content areas. Graduate credit will be granted for successful
completion of an institute but may not be applied toward a degree program at the
COURSES/ 123
University without the approval of the department in which the student is doing his
major field of specialization degree work. All institute participants must be degree
candidates in the Graduate School of Education or must qualify, prior to registration,

the university
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is incorporated as a privately
endowed nonsectarian institution of higher learning under the General
Laws of Massachusetts. The State Legislature by special enactment has
given the University general degree-granting powers. The University is
governed by a Board of Trustees elected by and from the Northeastern
University Corporation, which is composed of nearly 180 distinguished
business and professional men and women.
From its beginning, Northeastern University has had as its dominant pur-
pose the discovery of community educational needs and the meeting of
these in distinctive and serviceable ways. The University has not duplicated
the programs of other institutions, but has sought to pioneer new areas of
educational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University is its Cooperative Plan, in-
itiated by the College of Engineering in 1909 and subsequently adopted by
the Colleges of Business Administration (1922); Liberal Arts (1935); Educa-
tion (1953); Pharmacy (1962); Nursing (1964); Boston-Bouve College
(1964); the College of Criminal Justice (1967); and by Lincoln College's
daytime Bachelor of Engineering Technology program (1971). This
educational method enables students to gain valuable practical experience
as an integral part of their college program and also provides the means by
which they may contribute substantially to the financing of their education.
The Plan has been extended to the graduate level in engineering, actuarial
science, rehabilitation administration, professional accounting, business
administration, and law.
In the field of adult education, programs of study have been developed to
meet a variety of needs. University College offers evening courses —
offered by the University since 1906 — and adult-day courses leading to the
bachelor's degree. In addition to offering day undergraduate programs in
Electrical Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Tech-
nology, Lincoln College offers evening/part-time certificate, associate, and
bachelor degree programs in technological areas. All formal courses of
study leading to degrees through part-time programs are approved by the
Basic College faculties concerned.
GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS
The ten graduate and professional schools of the University offer day and evening
programs leading to the degrees listed.
The Graduate School of Actuarial Science offers the degree of Master of Science
in Actuarial Science.
17
18 /THE UNIVERSITY

CENTER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Center for Continuing Education was established in 1960 to relate
the University to the needs of its community in a period of accelerated
change. Adult education programs offered by the Center and University
College have since been consolidated. Its programs are composed of
seminars, conferences, institutes, forums, and a wide variety of special
courses designed to serve specific needs. The Division of Special
Programs, working cooperatively with trade associations and professional
societies, offers a wide variety of programs dealing with current needs and
problems. Through its Division of Community Services, working with
governmental agencies and community organizations, the Center is becom-
ing increasingly involved in social problems on both the local and national
level.
Many of these programs are conducted at Henderson House, North-
eastern University's conference center in Weston, Massachusetts.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The facilities of the University are engaged in a wide variety of basic
research projects in business, science, social science, pharmacy, and
engineering. These are coordinated by the Dean of Research, whose ser-
vices are University-wide and available to the faculties of all the Colleges.
Although Northeastern is primarily concerned with undergraduate and
graduate instruction, the University believes that the most effective teaching
and learning takes place in an environment characterized by research ac-
tivities directed toward extending the frontiers of knowledge.
buildings and facilities
MAIN CAMPUS
The main campus of Northeastern University is located at 360 Huntington

regulations of the graduate
school of engineering
The Master of Science degree may be earned in Chemical Engineering,
Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, Industrial Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, and Engineering Management. In addition, there
are programs leading to the Doctor of Philosophy degree in Chemical
Engineering, Civil Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Mechanical
Engineering. The Doctor of Engineering degree is offered in Chemical
Engineering. The Engineer degree may be earned in Electrical Engineering,
Mechanical Engineering, and Industrial Engineering.
Cooperative Programs
A unique feature of Northeastern's Graduate School of Engineering is the
full-time Cooperative Education Plan. This program adopts the philosophy
that a balanced exposure to theory and practice will provide students with a
more meaningful education.
All engineering graduate departments offer full-time programs on the
Cooperative Plan. The program includes nine months of classroom study
and twelve months of work experience in an industrial concern. The
cooperative student is able to gain vital experience in a professional en-
vironment while also supplementing his tuition payments.
The University has a full-time experienced staff to assist the student in
obtaining a cooperative work assignment. The student may also wish to in-
vestigate employment opportunities on his own in order to facilitate final
placement by the graduate coordinator.
An illustration of term sequence within the two-year Cooperative Educa-
tion Plan is shown below:
First Year Second Year
Fall Quarter class work
Winter Quarter work class
Spring Quarter class work
Summer Quarter work
Normally, the Cooperative Plan operates as shown above. Economic
conditions, the military, citizenship, and other factors may cause a depar-
ture from the normal Plan. Students who are admitted to a masters degree
program under the Cooperative Plan must complete, through satisfactory
performance, each cooperative work assignment in order to be eligible for
their degree.
23
24/ REGULATIONS
Engineering Sponsorships (Beginning Academic Year 1975)
Another aspect of Cooperative Education is the Engineering Sponsorship
Program. This program provides students with exposure to academic
theory and industrial experience. The sponsoring Company, by employing
the students during cooperative work quarters, provides a monthly salary
for the two (2) year period plus a tuition stipend.
All students who are accepted as full-time cooperative students are con-
sidered for Engineering Sponsorships. Notification will be received prior to
April 15th if a student has been chosen for a sponsorship. Those students
not chosen are still eligible for placement under the Cooperative Plan of
Education.
GENERAL REGULATIONS
The general regulations and minimum requirements for all graduate
programs are established by the University Graduate Council. In some
matters the committee of each graduate school is allowed discretion to es-
tablish regulations within limits defined by the council. The regulations and
academic requirements which follow have been formulated in accordance
with this general policy.
Application Procedures
All applicants for cooperative full-time or continuous full-time study at the
master's level should address inquiries to their respective departments or
to the Graduate School of Engineering. Application forms and reference
blanks will be mailed to the applicant. This material, together with the
$15.00 non-refundable application fee, necessary transcripts, two letters of
recommendation, the Graduate Record Examination scores when required,
and the results of the Test of English as a Foreign Language (required of all
applicants whose native language is not English), should be returned to the
Graduate School of Engineering Office as soon after January 15th as possi-
ble. The Admissions Committee will notify applicants as soon as their
material is complete.
All applicants for part-time study at the master's level should request an
application from the Graduate School of Engineering Office. The completed
application, the non-refundable $15.00 application fee and an official
transcript should be sent to the graduate school no later than two weeks
prior to the interview and registration period for the quarter in which the
applicant plans to begin his program. The dates of the interview and
registration periods are announced in the catalog (see academic calendar)
and in the circular issued each July. Applicants will be notified by mail
regarding acceptance. Mailed applications will be accepted up to two
weeks prior to the registration period for the quarter in which the applicant
plans to begin the program.
REGULATIONS/ 25
If an applicant is unable to submit the application material by mail at least
two weeks prior to the registration period, he should call the Graduate
School Office to arrange for a personal interview to determine his
qualifications for admission. The application, the non-refundable $15.00
application fee and the official transcript may be submitted at the interview.
In some cases, the Graduate Record Examination may be required of
applicants. The examination is administered by the Educational Testing
Service, Box 955, Princeton, New Jersey, 08540. Applicants must make
their own arrangements with the Educational Testing Service for the ex-
amination.
Test scores for Graduate Record Examinations and Test of English as a
Foreign Language sent to the Graduate School of Engineering are retained
for only one year from the date they were taken. If an applicant does not
enroll in the quarter for which he was accepted, but delays his registration
for a period of one year or more from the date that he originally took his ex-
aminations, he must repeat the examinations or resubmit the original test
scores before he will be permitted to register.
Transcripts
Official transcripts of previous college training must be supplied with the
mailed application if an admissions decision is to be rendered by return
mail, or submitted at the personal interview. If this is not feasible, the official
transcripts must be mailed to the Graduate School of Engineering as soon
after the initial registration as possible. Students who have attended in-
stitutions outside of the United States should provide comparable certified
documents. Failure to file the necessary transcripts will result in the student
being asked to withdraw.
Admission
To be admitted for graduate work, an applicant must have obtained a
Bachelor of Science degree in engineering or a closely related science from
a recognized college or university with an acceptable quality of un-
dergraduate work. His scholastic record, therefore, must show ability to
pursue creditably a program of graduate study, and his undergraduate
training must indicate breadth as well as adequate preparation in the field
in which the applicant expects to do advanced work. Acceptance to the
school is granted upon recommendation of the departmental graduate
committee or its designate following a review of the application and suppor-
ting material. The recommendation is based upon promise of academic
success and fulfillment of minimum criteria established by each department
in the Graduate School of Engineering.
Students with an engineering or related science bachelor's degree, who
are enrolled in another graduate school at Northeastern, may transfer to the
Graduate School of Engineering. However, they must make application and
26 /REGULATIONS
file the necessary documents, the same as transfers from other colleges or
universities. The submission of registration materials for engineering
course work does not constitute enrollment in the Graduate School of
Engineering.
Registration
Students must register within the dates and times listed on the school
calendar. The place of registration will be announced prior to each period.
Auditors are not permitted. All students attending any course in the
Graduate School of Engineering must be officially registered by the
Registrar and listed on the class roster.
Residence
All work for advanced degrees must be completed at the University un-
less approval has been obtained from the director of the graduate school
for work taken elsewhere. Students who are in residence and are using the
facilities of the University must register for such work.
Programs of Study
The curricula of the degree programs are given under each departmental
heading. The descriptions of courses offered by the several departments
are given so that prospective students may obtain a view of the course
coverage. Preparation courses are indicated when necessary. Not all
courses are offered every year, but the course offerings will be arranged in
such a manner that students may make continuous progress toward the
degree.
The Graduate School of Engineering issues a circular close to July 1st
which gives the courses for the following academic year and the times at
which they meet.
The number of students enrolled in each class will be limited to permit
effective teaching at the graduate level. The University reserves the right to
cancel, postpone, combine, or modify any course.
At the time of his first registration, each full-time student must develop,
with the assistance of his faculty adviser, a complete program of study for
the degree for which he is registered. All subsequent changes must be ap-
proved by his faculty adviser.
Part-time students will be expected to complete the required courses
outlined by each department, after which the elective courses may be un-
dertaken. The study load for such students is limited to a program of two
courses per quarter (one course in the summer) unless special permission
to carry a heavier load is given by the director of the graduate school.
REGULATIONS/ 27
Grading System
The performance of students in graduate courses will be recorded by the
instructor by use of the following grades:
A Excellent
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
has been of very high graduate caliber.
B Satisfactory
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
has been at a satisfactory level.
C Fair
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
is not at the level expected in graduate work.
F Failure
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
is unsatisfactory.
In addition, the following letter designations are used:
I Incomplete
This grade is given to those students who fail to complete the work of
the course.
S Satisfactory without quality designation.
U Unsatisfactory without quality designation.
These grades are used for the first quarter of a two-quarter sequence
in which the grade for the second quarter applies to both the first and
second quarters of the sequence. The designations S and U may also
be used for thesis and seminar work.
Incomplete Grades
The I grade will be changed to a letter grade upon removal of the
deficiency which caused the grade of I to be reported. Deficiencies must be
made up within the quarter following that for which the grade of I is received
unless an extension of time is granted by the instructor. However, such ex-
tension of time may not exceed two additional consecutive calendar
quarters.
Any student who wishes to make-up a final examination must obtain per-
mission from the director of the graduate school by the second week of the
quarter succeeding that in which the examination was missed. The make-
up examination must be taken in that succeeding quarter unless cir-
cumstances warrant permission of the director to defer it to one of the next
two quarters.
A student who has attained an inordinate number of incompletes may, at
the discretion of the Committee on Graduate Study in Engineering be asked
to withdraw for failure to show continuous progress toward the degree.
28 /REGULATIONS
Class Hours and Credits
All credits are entered as quarter hours. A quarter hour of credit is
equivalent to three fourths of a semester hour credit. All classes meet on a
quarter basis. In the summer session, classes meet for six-week periods.
The academic calendar in the front of this catalog should be consulted for
the opening and closing dates of each academic quarter.
Continuity of Program
Students are expected to maintain continuous progress toward the
degree. Any student who has not attended the Graduate School of
Engineering for a period of one year must apply to the director for readmis-
sion.
Withdrawals
In order to withdraw from a course, a student must fill out an official
withdrawal form obtained at the Registrar's Office or at the Suburban Cam-
pus Office. Withdrawals may be made through the ninth class meeting of
the quarter. Students will be withdrawn as of the date on which they fill out
the official withdrawal form. Ceasing to attend a class or notifying the in-
structor does not constitute an official withdrawal.
Requests for withdrawal from a course after the ninth class meeting of
the quarter may be submitted to the Director of the Graduate School, and
may be approved to avert unusual hardships on a student.
Changes in Requirements
The continuing development of the graduate school forces frequent revi-
sion of curricula. In every new bulletin some improvements are indicated.
When no hardship is imposed on the student because of changes, and
when the facilities of the school permit, the student is expected to meet the
requirements of the latest bulletin. If the student finds it impossible to meet
these requirements, the bulletin for the year in which he entered becomes
the binding one.
Filing for the Degree
Each student who plans to graduate either in June or September must
submit to the Registrar's Office a completed commencement data card
prior to the deadline listed in the academic calendar for that commence-
ment at which he expects to receive the degree. If the deadline for filing is
not met there is no assurance that the degree will be awarded that year. The
commencement data card is supplied with the registration materials or is
available in the Registrar's Office.
REGULATIONS/ 29
THE MASTER'S DEGREE
Admission
Specific requirements for each degree program will be found in the ap-
propriate paragraphs for each academic department in the Graduate
School of Engineering. General Requirements are listed under Application
Procedures.
Academic Classifications
Students initially entering the Graduate School are classified into one of
three groups according to their admission qualifications.
Regular students are those who meet in full all admittance criteria based
on the standards established by the Committee on Graduate Study in
Engineering.
Provisional students are those whose records are above the minimum
required for acceptance but do not qualify them for regular admission bas-
ed on the standards established. Therefore, provisional students must ob-
tain a B average in their first 12 quarter hours of course work to continue in
the graduate school and be reclassified as regular.
Special students are those who do not wish to pursue a master's degree
program or who may already possess the master's degree. Special
students with only the bachelor's degree must meet the same admission
criteria as the regular or provisional student and will be limited to a max-
imum of 12 quarter hours of graduate credits.
Any student whose record is not satisfactory may be dropped from the
program regardless of his classification.
Academic Requirements
A candidate for the master's degree must satisfactorily complete an ap-
proved program consisting of a minimum of 40 quarter hours of correlated
work of graduate caliber and such other study as may be required by the
department in which he is registered.
To qualify for the Master of Science degree from the Graduate School of
Engineering each student must have an average grade accumulative of not
less than B with no more than 12 credits below a B in all courses under-
taken at Northeastern University. The Committee on Graduate Study in
Engineering allows eight quarter hours of credit to be taken, in addition to
the stated degree requirements, to repeat failed required courses or to sub-
stitute for elective courses to obtain the required B average for completion
of degree requirements. The number of I grades that a student may accrue
will be limited.
Within the above limitations for extra or repeated courses, a required
course for which a grade of F is received must be repeated with a grade of
C or better, and may be repeated only once. If a grade of F is received in an
elective course, that course may be repeated once to obtain a grade of C or
30 /REGULATIONS
better, or another elective course may be substituted for it. If a grade of C is
received in a required course, that course may be repeated once to obtain a
grade of B or better.
Comprehensive Examination
At the discretion of the department, a final written or oral comprehensive
examination may be required. Such examinations will be given at least two
weeks before the commencement at which the degree is expected.
Thesis
If a thesis is required in partial fulfillment of degree requirements, it must
show independent work based in part upon original material, and must
meet the approval of the departmental graduate committee.
The thesis must receive a grade of B or better to be accepted. Instruc-
tions for the preparation of the thesis may be obtained from the depart-
ment.
Transfer Credits
A maximum of 12 quarter hours of credit obtained at another institution
may be accepted toward the master's degree provided that the credits
transferred are in the candidate's field, consist of work taken at the
graduate level for graduate credit, carry grades of A or B, have been earned
at a recognized college or university, and have not been used toward any
other degree. Students should petition the Graduate School of Engineering
in writing for all transfer credits. Grades on transfer credits may not be used
for the purpose of obtaining the academic average necessary for com-
pletion of the degree requirements.
Time Limitations
Course credits earned in the program of graduate study, or accepted by
transfer, are valid for a maximum of seven years unless an extension is
granted by the graduate school committee.
Fellowships
The departments of the Graduate School of Engineering have two types
of fellowships available. Some departments have teaching assistantships
and research fellowships for students enrolled in work leading to the
master's degree. The departments which give doctoral degrees also have
research fellowships for such students.
Assistantships
Some departments have teaching assistantships, on the Cooperative
Plan, in which students alternate full-time academic work with full-time
work in the department. Some departments also have available research
fellowships. Applications for traineeships must be filed by March 15, with
REGULATIONS/ 31
two letters of recommendation and a transcript of all prior college work. All
students must have their course program approved by the chairman of the
respective department before the student registers.
Cooperative Programs
All the departments offer the Cooperative Education Plan. The Plan con-
sists of nine months of classroom study and twelve months of work ex-
perience in an industrial concern.
Full-Time Program
All the departments offer a continuous full-time program in which the
requirements for the master's degree can be completed in one academic
year.
Part-Time Program
Most of the departments offer part-time programs in which the admission
requirements are the same as for full-time programs. However, the
program is established in such a way that students may progress according
to their abilities and the time available. The curricula of the part-time
programs are specified by the departments.
An official transcript of prior college work must be submitted with an
application by those who apply by mail, or at the personal interview for
those who apply after the deadline for mailing. Mail applications will be
accepted up to two weeks prior to the registration period for the quarter in
which the applicant plans to enter the Graduate School.
Honorary Societies
Northeastern University has chapters of Tau Beta, Pi, Sigma Xi, and Phi
Kappa Phi. Graduate students are eligible for consideration for election to
these societies in accordance with the admission requirements of each
organization.
THE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE
The Doctor of Philosophy degree is awarded to candidates who give
evidence of high attainment and research ability in their major field. The
degree requirements are administered by committees in charge of each
degree program. These committees may be departmental graduate com-
mittees or the committee of the graduate school, depending upon the
nature of the program. It is the responsibility of the chairman of the com-
mittee to certify to the Graduate School of Engineering the completion of
each requirement for each candidate.
Admission
Each degree program has an established admission procedure for
students starting their doctoral work at Northeastern University. Initial con-
tact should be with the chairman of the appropriate department.

their advisers or the departmental registration officer. After the first
registration for doctoral work, registration must be continuous unless
withdrawal is allowed by the committee in charge of the degree program.
Students must be registered for dissertation during the quarter in which
they take the final oral examination.
THE DOCTOR OF ENGINEERING DEGREE
The Doctor of Engineering degree is awarded to candidates who give
evidence of high attainment and ability in their major field. The degree re-
quirements are administered by committees in charge of each degree
program. These committees may be departmental graduate committees or
the committee of the graduate school, depending upon the nature of the
34 /REGULATIONS
program. It is the responsibility of the chairman of the committee to certify
to the Graduate School of Engineering the completion of each requirement
for each candidate.
Admission
Each degree program has an established admission procedure for
students starting their doctoral work at Northeastern University. Initial con-
tact should be with the chairman of the appropriate department.
Classification and Degree Candidacy
Students taking advanced graduate work are classified as follows:
1. Doctoral Student
Students in this classification have been admitted to the doctoral
program.
2. Doctoral Degree Candidate
Students in this classification are doctoral students who have
completed 40 quarter hours of acceptable graduate work beyond
the bachelor's degree and have passed the qualifying examination.
3. Special Students
This classification is given to students taking advanced graduate
work who are not enrolled for a master's degree, and who have not
been admitted to a doctoral program.

work normally required for a master's degree. The course requirements
REGULATIONS/ 35
beyond this are doctoral course requirements, and the amount of such
work necessary in each doctoral program is specified by the committee in
charge of the doctoral program.
Dissertation
The dissertation for the Doctor of Engineering degree is fundamentally
different from that of the Doctor of Philosophy degree. In general, the latter
focuses on contributions to new knowledge in the engineering sciences and
is expected to demonstrate the student's competence as a researcher. The
dissertation for the Doctor of Engineering degree focuses on creative
engineering design and in-depth engineering studies. It may, and usually
will, contain elements that involve research, but above all, it must
demonstrate the student's ability to work creatively on engineering analysis
and design problems such as those encountered in professional practice.
Language Requirement
There is no foreign language requirement, but, in lieu of such a require-
ment, the student must demonstrate proficiency in computer software
techniques and an acceptable machine language.
Final Oral Examination
The final oral examination will be taken after completion of all other re-
quirements for the degree. This examination must be held at least two
weeks before the commencement at which the degree is to be awarded.
The committee for the final oral examination for the doctoral degree is
appointed by the committee in charge of the degree program, and the
director of the graduate school is notified of the time of the examination.
The final oral examination will be on the subject matter of the doctoral
dissertation and significant developments in the field of the dissertation.
Other fields may be included if recommended by the examining committee.
Transfer Credit
If transfer credit for doctoral course work is desired, approval for such
transfer credit must be given by the committee in charge of the degree
program.
Time Limitation
After the establishment of degree candidacy, a maximum of five years
will be allowed for the completion of the degree requirements. If a student
wishes to obtain a time extension, he may, with the approval of the com-
mittee of his degree program, petition the Committee on Doctoral Degree
Programs or the University Graduate Council for such extension.
Registration
All students must register for course work or dissertation as approved by
their advisers or the departmental registration officer. After the first
36/ REGULATIONS
registration for doctoral work, registration must be continuous unless
withdrawal is allowed by the committee in charge of the degree program.
Students must be registered for dissertation during the quarter in which
they take the final oral examination.
Professional Experience
The student is required to present evidence of at least one calendar year
of experience in engineering practice at a suitable professional level. This
experience must have been acquired after completion of a bachelor's
degree in a branch of engineering. The committee in charge of each degree
program specifies the details of the professional experience requirement.
INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS
Some graduate students may wish to pursue doctoral programs which
involve substantial work in two or more departments. To meet this need, an
interdisciplinary program may be established which corresponds in scope
and depth to doctoral standards, but does not agree exactly with the in-
dividual departmental regulations. For such possibilities, the following plan
is in operation:
Admission
Application for admission to interdisciplinary doctoral study consists of
the submission of a carefully thought-out written proposal describing the
areas of proposed study and research. The proposal may be a part of the
initial application for admission to graduate study at Northeastern Universi-
ty, or it may be submitted by a student already enrolled. It may be directed
to a doctoral degree-granting department or to the director of the graduate
school, who directs it to the appropriate department. In either case, admis-
sion to interdisciplinary doctoral study requires favorable recommendation
by the sponsoring doctoral degree-granting department and approval by
authorized representatives of the graduate study committees of the
departments appropriate to the disciplines covered by the applicant's
proposal. The sponsoring department becomes the registration base of the
student.
Formation of Interdisciplinary Committee
A student who has been accepted for interdisciplinary study must obtain
the consent of an adviser who will direct his doctoral thesis. This adviser,
who may or may not be a member of the registration department, will be
chairman of the interdisciplinary committee for this student. A second
member will be appointed from the registration department by its chair-
man. These two members will obtain one or more additional members or
request the director of the graduate school to do so. At least two
departments must be represented on the committee and a majority of the
committee must come from doctoral degree-granting departments. The
chairman of the registration department will notify the director of the
REGULATIONS/ 37
graduate school of the membership of the committee as soon as
arrangements are complete.
Duties of Interdisciplinary Committee
A member of the interdisciplinary committee who is also a member of the
registration department will serve as the registration officer to approve the
course registration for the student. A copy of the approved course registra-
tion must also be filed with the other committee members and with the
graduate study committee of the registration department.
The interdisciplinary committee will be responsible for the admistration
of the qualifying examination, language examination, approval of the dis-
sertation, and comprehensive examination. This committee must also cer-
tify to the registration department the completion of the requirements for
the award of the doctoral degree.
The interdisciplinary committee must assure that the program of the stu-
dent represents standards comparable to those of the registration depart-
ment and that the program is not so broad that it has inadequate depth in
any area.
The program of the student may be reviewed at any time by the director
of the graduate school to determine whether objectives of the program are
being met.
THE ENGINEER DEGREE
The degree of Engineer is intended for those who do not wish to make a
commitment to post-master's degree graduate study that is as extensive as
that required for one of the doctor's degrees. It is an intermediate degree,
between master's and doctor's degrees. A student who has completed the
Engineer degree is eligible to apply for admission to a doctor's degree
program.
Admission
Each departmental Engineer degree program has its own admission
procedure for students beginning the program. Normally a master's degree
in engineering or related field is required. Initial contact should be with the
chairman of the appropriate department.
Classification and Degree Candidacy
A student admitted to the Engineer degree program will be designated as
a candidate for this degree.
Residence Requirement
Candidates for the Engineer degree must spend the equivalent of at least
two academic quarters in residence at the University taking graduate work.
The committee of each degree program specifies the method by which the
residence requirement is satisfied.
38/ REGULATIONS
Qualifying and Comprehensive Examinations
The committee for each Engineer degree program specifies its own ex-
aminations. Normally, no qualifying examination is required for candidacy
and no comprehensive examination is required for completion, but in-
dividual departments offering the degree may require such examinations.
Course Requirements
The minimum course requirement will be 40 quarter hours beyond the
master's degree, with no more than 10 quarter hours of credit out of the 40
allowed for work on the dissertation. A minimum of 20 quarter hours must
be taken in the department in which the degree is offered. Specific course
requirements for each Engineer degree program are determined by the
departmental committee in charge of the program.
Dissertation
Each Engineer degree student must complete a dissertation which
demonstrates a high level of competence in engineering research, develop-
ment, or design. As a general guideline, the amount of effort normally ex-
pected will be the equivalent of about 10 quarter hours of graduate course
work.
Language Requirement
No foreign language is required for the Engineer degree.
Final Oral Examination
A final oral examination may be required by the departmental committee
in charge of the Engineer degree program. The examination will normally
consist of a defense of the dissertation.
Transfer of Credit
Approval for transfer of credit must be given by the departmental com-
mittee in charge of the degree program.
Time Limitation
After admission to the program, a maximum of five years will be allowed
for completion of the degree requirements. Extension of this time limit may
be granted with the approval of the departmental committee in charge of
the degree program.
Registration
All students must register for course work or dissertation as approved by
their advisers or the departmental registration officer. After the first
registration for this work, registration must be continuous unless withdrawal
is allowed by the departmental committee in charge of the degree program.

FINANCIAL OBLIGATIONS
Tuition
Tuition rates and fees are subject to revision by the Board of Trustees at
any time. However, any change in tuition and fees will become effective at
the beginning of the school year which follows the one in which the change
was announced.
The tuition rate for all graduate students is $67 per quarter hour of credit.
Doctoral candidates actively utilizing the resources of the University in their
Doctor of Philosophy or Doctor of Engineering dissertation are charged an
additional $600 per quarter. Those doctoral candidates registered for dis-
sertation work to be performed off campus are charged $200 per quarter in
addition to tuition. Degree candidates that are no longer full time students yet
still need to complete thesis or dissertation requirements will be charged
a continuation fee. This will entitle the student to limited access of various
University facilities and privileges.
Tuition statements are mailed to students by the Bursar's Office and are
payable by cash or check to Northeastern University on or before the date
specified.
Fees
A $15.00 non-refundable application fee must accompany the application
for admission to the Graduate School of Engineering. No applications will
be processed until the fee has been received.
Upon notification of acceptance, all full-time applicants are required to
pay a tuition deposit of $50.00 This deposit will be credited to the student's
tuition, and it is not refundable for those who do not register.
Other fees include a charge of $10 for late payment of tuition and a com-
mencement fee of $25 for all degree candidates, payable before com-
mencement by the date listed in the academic calendar.
For full-time students there is a charge of $12.50 per quarter for the ser-
vices available in the Student Center. The fee for teaching assistants and
research fellows is $6.25 each quarter. All part-time students on the Hun-
tington Avenue Campus are charged $.75 a quarter.
All full-time students pay a non-refundable University Health Service fee
of $120 each year. This fee will provide Blue Cross-Blue Shield coverage and
entitle the students to the medical care furnished by the University Health
Services.
All financial obligations to the University must be discharged by gradua-
tion.

40 / FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Refunds
Tuition refunds will be granted only on the basis of the date appearing on
the official withdrawal form filed by the student. Nonattendance does not
constitute official withdrawal. Questions regarding refunds should be dis-
cussed with the Bursar's Office.
Refunds will be granted in accordance with the following schedule:
Amount of Refund:
Official Withdrawal Filed Within: Percentage of Tuition
First week of quarter 100
Second week of quarter 75
Third week of quarter 50
Fourth week of quarter 25
FINANCIAL AID
The Graduate School of Engineering has available the following types of
assistantships and fellowships for support of graduate students. Those in-
terested in financial aid must apply through the chairman of the major depart-
ment. The chairmen or representatives of the Department are listed in the
catalog under the Committee on Graduate Study in Engineering.
Teaching Assistantships
Teaching assistantships allowing remission of tuition and a stipend are
available in all departments. Holders of such awards devote half time to
academic assistance directly related to the teaching function and the
balance to course work.
Graduate Administrative Assistantships
Some University departments offer the graduate student an opportunity
for remission of tuition and a stipend in return for half time spent in
assisting with non-teaching, administrative duties.
Tuition Assistantships
Many departments provide remission of tuition for students who share in
the administrative work of the department. These awards are normally
given to full-time students in the first year of graduate work.
Research Fellowships
A number of departments offer research fellowships including N.I.H. and
N.S.F. that carry a stipend and remit tuition. Certain of these grants require
half-time work on research in the department, with the remaining time
devoted to course work. Others provide for full-time work on research used
for thesis or dissertation.
FINANCIAL INFORMATION / 41
Doctoral Research Fellowships
In the departments which give work leading to the Ph.D. degree, research
fellowships available for students who have established candidacy for the
Ph.D. degree carry a higher stipend than fellowships at the master's level.
Appointments
Appointments to fellowships and assistantships are ordinarily announced
no later than April 15 for the following academic year or summer. Ap-
pointments are for a maximum of one year and are not automatically
renewed. Students who hold assistantships and research fellowships are
expected to devote full time to their studies and the duties of the grant.
They may not accept outside employment without the consent of their facul-
ty advisers and the director of the graduate school.
FINANCIAL AID OFFICE
The Office of Financial Aid offers two types of assistance to graduate
students: the National Direct Student Loan and Work-Study. All awards are
based on financial need. Aid granted from these programs sponsored by
the Federal Government is dependent upon the amount of funds allocated
to Northeastern University.
National Direct Student Loan
Under the National Direct Student Loan program, students may be al-
lowed to borrow as much as $1500 per academic year; however, the total
amount borrowed must not exceed $10,000 for the student's entire un-
dergraduate and graduate program. Repayment and interest on these
loans do not begin until nine months after the student ceases to carry at
least a half-time academic load. The repayment of the principal may be ex-
tended over a ten-year period with an interest rate of 3% per annum.
College Work Study Program
The College Work-Study Program is sponsored by the Federal Govern-
ment. It is designed to give students an opportunity to earn as much as
$3.50 per hour working in jobs on or off campus in public or private non-
profit organizations. This program is administered solely by the Office of
Financial Aid and is not to be confused with the University's cooperative
education program.
Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarships
Established in 1969 in memory of the late Rev. Martin Luther King, Jr.,
awards are made as openings occur to qualified minority graduate students
who show financial need and are accepted to full-time study in the
Graduate Schools of the University. Stipends will cover tuition and all fees.
42 / FINANCIAL INFORMATION
Guaranteed Student Loan Program
A prime means of financial assistance is the Guaranteed Student Loan
Program. Because of the easy availability of this loan relative to other types
of financial assistance, it is recommended that all applicants for aid first
seek assistance from this source. Students may receive guaranteed loans
of up to $2500 per academic year from their local banks. Repayment of the
principal and interest need not begin until nine months after the student
ceases to carry at least a half-time academic load.
Northeastern University is a participant in the Graduate and Professional
School Financial Aid Service (GAPSFAS). All applicants for financial aid
must file a GAPSFAS form in order to be considered. This form may be ob-
tained from the financial aid officer at the institution which the student now
attends or from the Northeastern University Office of Financial Aid. All sec-
tions of the GAPSFAS form must be completed and sent to the Graduate
and Professional School Financial Aid Service, Box 2614, Princeton, New
Jersey 08540. No decision on an application for financial aid will be made
until the GAPSFAS form is received.
Only students who have been officially accepted as degree candidates to
a graduate school of Northeastern University may apply for financial aid.
The University does not award financial assistance to students who are not
citizens or permanent residents of the United States.
The Office of Financial Aid does not award Graduate Assistantships or
Fellowships. For further information regarding such assistance, students
should contact the Chairmen of the major department.
National Defense Student Loans
This program is available to students who are carrying at least one-half
the normal academic load, are accepted as degree candidates, and who
show evidence of financial need.
The Federal maximum a graduate student may borrow is $5000 while
pursuing his post-baccalaureate degree.
Repayment and interest on these loans do not begin until nine months
after the student ceases to carry at least a half-time academic load at an in-
stitution of higher education. The repayment of principal may be extended
over a ten-year period with the interest at the rate of 3% per annum. Repay-
ment may be deferred up to a total of three years while a borrower is ser-
ving as a Peace Corps or VISTA volunteer.
Additional information and application forms are availble from the Office
of Financial Aid. The application deadline is September 1 for full-time
students. For other students the deadline is six weeks prior to the start of
the quarter for which aid is requested.
Dormitory Proctorships
A number of proctorships in dormitories on or near the Huntington
Avenue campus are available each year. Appointments carry a minimum
compensation of room and board. Further information and application
forms may be obtained from the Office of University Housing.

Admission
To be enrolled for graduate work leading to the degree of Master of
Science in Civil Engineering, applicants must have obtained a Bachelor of
Science degree in Civil Engineering, with an acceptable quality of un-
dergraduate work, from a recognized institution. Applicants with a Bachelor
of Science degree from a recognized institution in some other engineering
field or related science and an appropriate background of preparation may
pursue this program and qualify for the degree of Master of Science.
THE MASTER'S DEGREE
General
The master's degree requirements can be completed on the Cooperative
Plan, on a full-time basis or part-time in the evening. Forty quarter hours of
academic work are required. A master's report carrying 4 Q.H. of credit, or
a thesis of 8 Q.H. credit is required in all fields of civil engineering (en-
vironmental, structural and transportation).
A meaningful sequence of electives must be chosen which meets the ap-
proval of the department. Department interviews are necessary early in the
program for all students in order that an approved program of electives
may be arranged with the individual. It is suggested that only required
courses be taken in the first quarter. During that quarter an interview should
be scheduled within the department for preliminary planning of the
remainder of the individual program.
Full-Time Program on the Cooperative Plan
On the Cooperative Plan students enroll for academic work in the Fall
and Spring Quarters of the first year and in the Winter Quarter of the sec-
ond year. The other three quarters of the two academic years and the
summer after the first year are available for professional employment.
Students who are admitted to a master's degree program under the
Cooperative Plan must complete, through satisfactory performance, each
cooperative work assignment in order to be eligible for their degree.
Full-Time Program
Arrangements may be made to complete the degree requirements in one
year on a continuous full-time basis.

CIVIL ENGINEERING / 47
Part-Time Programs
The admission requirements for these programs are similar to those for
the full-time program, but students may progress according to their ability
to combine their study load with their employment load. A maximum of
seven years is allowed to complete the program.
Substitutions
With the approval of the department, substitutions may be made for
some of the prescribed courses by other courses in the department or in
other departments which offer graduate work.
Students may petition to substitute eight quarter hours of approved
course work for the required four quarter hours Master's Report.
STRUCTURAL ENGINEERING
The Structural Engineering Program emphasizes basic courses in Struc-
tural Analysis, Design of Steel and Concrete Structure, and Soil and Rock
Mechanics. Advanced topics in Dynamics, Stability, Models and Numerical
Methods round out a comprehensive presentation which may be supple-
mented by offerings from other programs, such as mechanical engineering
or industrial engineering.

THE MECHANICAL ENGINEER DEGREE
The degree of Mechanical Engineer is offered for those who wish to un-
dertake graduate study beyond the Master's degree without committing
themselves to a program as extensive as that required for the Doctor's
degree. The degree permits a candidate to pursue a course of study at the
upper graduate level in more than one area of Mechanical Engineering as
distinguished from the specialization usually associated with the doctoral
program.
The following material outlines the requirements for the Mechanical
Engineer degree. For further information applicants should write to the
Chairman of the Graduate Committee, Department of Mechanical Engi-
neering, Northeastern University, Boston, Massachusetts 02115.
Admission
To be admitted to candidacy for the degree of Mechanical Engineer, the
applicant will have obtained the degree of Master of Science in Mechanical
Engineering, or its equivalent, from a recognized institution. In some cases,
where the Master's degree is not in Mechanical Engineering, the applicant
may be admitted to the program on a conditional basis with the stipulation
that certain deficiencies be removed without credit toward the degree. Such
special admission is dependent upon the approval of the Mechanical
Engineering Graduate Committee.
In general, an applicant will choose two areas of concentration to give
him the broad background which characterizes the degree of Mechanical
Engineer. An outline of his program must be submitted to the Graduate
Committee for approval before final action can be taken upon his applica-
tion. It is recommended that the applicant discuss his program with the
Graduate Committee and members of the graduate faculty in his areas of
concentration prior to submission of his program for approval.

graduate work, and (3) the program of study which he proposes to follow.
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / 61
Classification and Degree Candidacy
A student admitted to the Mechanical Engineer degree program will be
designated as a Candidate for this degree. The Candidate's advisor normal-
ly will be the faculty member who will supervise the dissertation.
Residence Requirement
The residence requirement is satisfied by two academic quarters of full-
time graduate work during the academic year or by four academic quarters
of half-time graduate work during two consecutive academic years. Plans
for satisfying the residence requirement on a half-time basis must be ap-
proved by the Graduate Committee.
Qualification and Examinations
A student must maintain a "B" average to qualify for the degree. Students
admitted on a conditional basis may be required to pass special ex-
aminations. The Graduate Committee will determine the need for and will
administer any such special examinations. A final oral examination con-
sisting of a defense of the dissertation may be required if the Candidate's
advisor and the Departmental Graduate Committee so decide.
Credit Requirements
A minimum of 40 quarter hours of credit beyond the Master's degree is
required. Up to 10 quarter hours of credit will be permitted for work on a
dissertation. A minimum of 20 quarter hours of credit must be in the
Mechanical Engineering Department.
Dissertation
To be awarded the Mechanical Engineer degree, each candidate must
complete a dissertation demonstrating a high level of competence in
research, development, or design in the field of Mechanical Engineering.
The effort normally expected will be the equivalent of 10 quarter hours of
graduate course work.
Transfer Credits
Any transfer of credits must be approved by the Mechanical Engineering
Graduate Committee.
Time Limitation
After admission to the program, a maximum of five years will be per-
mitted for completion.
62 / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
Registration
After approval of the Candidate's program, registration must be con-
tinuous. Withdrawal or changes in the program must be approved by the
Graduate Committee.
THE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE
The degree of Doctor of Philosophy is awarded to those candidates who
demonstrate high attainment and research ability in the field of Mechanical
Engineering.
The following material outlines the requirements for the Doctor of
Philosophy degree. For further information applicants should write to the
Chairman of the Department of Mechanical Engineering, Northeastern
University, Boston, Massachusetts 02115
Admission
The program leading to the Ph.D. degree is open to persons who are
candidates for the Master of Science in Mechanical Engineering degree as
well as those who have received the degree. Requests for admission to the
program should be made to the Chairman of the Department of Mechanical
Engineering. Applicants will receive an application for interview form. This
form, along with transcripts of all undergraduate and graduate work and
three letters of recommendation, must be returned to the Chairman of the
Graduate Committee of the Department of Mechanical Engineering by
November 1 . The applicant will be notified of an interview time. Based upon
an evaluation of the applicant's qualifications, the Graduate Committee will
inform the applicant whether or not he will be admitted to the program.
Residence Requirement
The residence requirement is satisfied by one year of full-time graduate
work or by two years of half-time graduate work beyond the Master's
degree. However, a student should expect to spend at least two years, or
the equivalent, in full-time graduate study beyond the requirements of the
Master's degree.
Degree Candidacy
After 40 quarter hours of graduate work have been taken with satisfac-
tory grades and upon successful completion fo the qualifying examination,
a student is established as a degree Candidate.
Qualifying Examination
The qualifying examination in the Department of Mechanical Engineering
is offered yearly in January and is both written and oral. The written portion
of the qualifying examination is six hours in length and covers, with equal
emphasis, four different areas. A student must select one area from each of
MECHANICAL ENGINEERING / 63
the three groups A, B, and C, plus another area either listed below or un-
listed, but considered equivalent and approved by the Graduate Com-
mittee.
A. Concepts of Thermodynamics
Applied Thermodynamics
B. Dynamics
Mechanics of Deformable Bodies
C. Heat and Mass Transfer
Fluid Mechanics
Mechanical Behavior of Materials
Physical Metallurgy
The oral portion of the qualifying examination is conducted by a com-
mittee consisting of at least four members appointed by the Graduate Com-
mittee. A typical committee is composed of two members specializing in the
student's major area plus one member from each of two other areas.
The qualifying examination may be taken by a graduate student who ex-
pects to complete the requirements for his Master's degree within three
months of the date of the qualifying examination as well as by a person who
has already completed the requirements for the Master's degree. Because
degree candidacy must be established before the Graduate Committee will
act to approve course programs or dissertation proposals, the qualifying
examination should be taken at the earliest opportunity. If the examination
is failed, it may be repeated with permission of the departmental Graduate
Committee.
Course Requirements
To receive the Ph.D. degree a candidate must complete a program of
course work approved by the Graduate Committee. Courses completed
prior to admittance to the doctoral program are subject to the approval of
the Graduate Committee. Each program must contain at least twelve
quarter hours of course work, preferably outside of the department, in an
area other than that in which the candidate is concentrating. Attainment of a
B average for the courses in the "minor" portion of the program will signify
satisfactory completion of that portion.
Dissertation
After degree candidacy has been established, a candidate must com-
plete a dissertation which embodies the results of extended research and
includes materials suitable for publication.
The departmental Graduate Committee may require the completion of
certain course work before permitting dissertation work to commence. A
Dissertation Committee will be appointed by the Chairman of the depart-
64 / MECHANICAL ENGINEERING
merit upon the recommendation of the departmental Graduate Committee.
The Dissertation Committee will be kept informed of the work and will be
responsible for initial approval of the dissertation in its final form.
Language Requirement
A reading knowledge of one foreign language is required. Proficiency in
a language shall be determined in a manner prescribed by the departmen-
tal Graduate Committee. The language requirement must be fulfilled within
six months after the dissertation proposal has been accepted but no less
than six months before the degree is granted.
Comprehensive Examination
The comprehensive examination is combined with the final oral examina-
tion and is given after the dissertation has been completed and approved.
This examination is based upon the subject matter of the dissertation and a
defense of it.
Final Oral Examination
The final oral examination is taken after completion of all other re-
quirements for the degree. This examination cannot be held until two weeks
have elapsed after the dissertation has been registered and accepted by
the Graduate School and must be passed at least two weeks before the
commencement at which the degree is to be awarded
The final oral examination will include the subject matter of the doctoral
dissertation and significant developments in the field of the dissertation
work. Other fields may be included if recommended by the examining com-
mittee.
electrical engineering
Admission
To be enrolled for graduate work leading to the degree of Master of
Science in Electrical Engineering, applicants must have obtained a
Bachelor of Science degree in Electrical Engineering, with an acceptable
quality of undergraduate work, from a recognized college or university.
Applicants with a Bachelor of Science degree in other engineering or
related science fields and an appropriate background of preparation may
pursue this program and qualify for the degree of Master of Science without
specification. In some cases, students whose Bachelor of Science degree is
in some other engineering or related science field may qualify for the
degree of Master of Science in Electrical Engineering. This requires special
approval of the Department of Electrical Engineering.
THE MASTER'S DEGREE
Full-Time Program on the Cooperative Plan
Forty quarter hours of academic work are required. This program may be
taken on the Cooperative Plan. On this plan one group of students takes
academic work in the Fall and Spring Quarters of the first year and in the
Winter Quarter of the second year. Another group may take the academic
work in the Winter Quarter of the first year and in the Fall and Spring
Quarters of the second year. In either case, the other three quarters of the
two academic years and the summer after the first year are available for
professional employment. Students who are admitted to a master's degree
program under the Cooperative Plan must complete, through satisfactory
performance, each cooperative work assignment in order to be eligible for
their degree.
The sequence of courses on the Cooperative Plan will normally be taken
according to the following pattern:

quence of the required courses will be different from the full-time program
on the Cooperative Plan.
POWER SYSTEMS MAJOR
Full-Time Program on the Cooperative Plan
The course requirements vary with the student's background, but
generally can be computed on the basis of the minimum of 40 quarter
hours of course work.
For students enrolled in Northeastern's Power Systems Program at the
undergraduate level, it is possible (and customary) to take 6 q.h. of credit
toward the M.S. in the last quarter of their senior year. Normally these
courses are 3.900 Applied Probability and Stochastic Processes A, 2 q.h.
and 2.237 Nuclear Engineering II, 4 q.h. although other options (e.q. 3.959
Control Systems I, 3.295 Numerical Methods and Computer Applications)
are acceptable. This permits a student to accept a co-op assignment during
the summer and fall and then to complete the M.S. requirements with full-
time study during the winter and spring quarters. Such a student would take
the following program.

THE DOCTOR'S DEGREE
Full-Time Program
The following material outlines the procedures for admission to the doc-
toral program and the steps necessary to qualify for the Ph.D. degree. For
further information applicants should write to the Secretary, Department of
Electrical Engineering.
76 / ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING
Admission
Students who are interested in pursuing a doctor's program, should con-
tact the Electrical Engineering Department to request an application.
Completed applications, together with transcripts of all prior work and two
letters of recommendation, should be forwarded to the Electrical Engineer-
ing Department, 412 Dana Hall, no later than December 1 of the preceding
year. Following evaluation of this material, the applicant will be informed
whether or not he will be permitted to undertake the qualifying examina-
tion. A personal interview is not required, but a student may arrange with
the Secretary of the Electrical Engineering Graduate Committee, Professor
Robert N. Martin (617-437-3041), for an appointment for further program
details if desired. A student who has received approval to take the qualify-
ing examination is considered a pre-doctoral student until such time as he
passes the examination. Upon successful completion of the qualifying ex-
amination he becomes a Ph.D. candidate.
Residence Requirement
The residence requirement is satisfied by one year of full-time graduate
work or two consecutive years of part-time graduate work. In the latter
case, a detailed time schedule must be approved by the student's adviser in
order to give evidence that a least half of the time is being devoted to the
requirements of the graduate school program.
Qualifying Examination
The Ph.D. qualifying examination has emerged from its role as a require-
ment for admission to the doctoral program to the dual purpose of, one:
serving as an indicator of the student's capability for successful completion
of the program, and two: serving as a guide to his adviser in developing a
suitable plan of study tailored to the individual needs of the candidate.
With these goals in mind, the candidate is urged to take the qualifying ex-
amination early in his graduate program (i.e., not later than the successful
completion of 40 quarter hours of graduate work).
The examination is composed of a written and an oral part, and is usually
given in the spring quarter of each academic year. The written part covers
the following general categories:
(1) Circuits and Electronics
(2) Fields, Waves, and Energy Conversion
(3) Systems
(4) Miscellaneous Topics in Electrical Engineering
For candidates pursuing a Ph.D. with an emphasis in either Computer
Science or Modern Optics, the qualifying examination will be appropriately
modified.
The oral part is designed to test general comprehension. Together, the
oral and written portions of the examination review the factual knowledge of
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING / 77
a typical undergraduate Electrical Engineering program and the under-
standing of that material from a more mature point of view.
If the examination is failed it may be repeated only with permission of the
Graduate Committee upon recommendation of the Ph.D. Qualifying Ex-
amination Committee.
Comprehensive Examination
Within three years of his establishment of degree candidacy, the student
will be required to demonstrate by means of a comprehensive examination
a subject matter knowledge satisfactory for the award of the degree.
The comprehensive examination is an oral examination open to the Elec-
trical Engineering faculty (assistant professor and above in rank) and ad-
ministered by the student's Thesis Committee. Departmental faculty will be
informed of the examination via a departmental notice at least one week
prior to the examination. Normally the examination will be given at the time
the Thesis Proposal is submitted to the Thesis Committee for approval. As
part of this examination the Thesis Committee will review the student's doc-
toral program and his performance in graduate courses, as well as examine
the student on subject matter related to his graduate studies and his thesis
area.
Course Requirements
Successful completion of a doctoral program normally requires 70
quarter hours of satisfactory graduate level work exclusive of thesis
research and doctoral reading courses.
Doctoral Seminar, 3.993 and 3.994 are the only required courses.
The course work must include a three-course sequence (graduate level)
in each of two minor areas. Both minors must be in science, applied
science, or a related area. One minor may be chosen from an area of elec-
trical engineering outside the candidate's proposed major area.
Thesis
The candidate's thesis research shall be directed by his Thesis Adviser,
whom he shall select upon establishing candidacy. The Thesis Committee
shall approve the thesis in final form.
Language Requirement
The language requirement may be satisfied in French, German, or Rus-
sian. The Princeton Educational Testing Service Language Examination is
used for this purpose. The examination is administered by Northeastern
University annually. If necessary, it may be taken at another institution. It
must be passed before the final oral examination is taken.

Final Oral Examination
This examination will be held in accordance with the departmental
regulations.
THE ELECTRICAL ENGINEER DEGREE
The Department of Electrical Engineering offers the graduate pro-
fessional degree usually known as the Engineer Degree. This degree,
offered at a number of institutions, usually requires about one year of full-
time graduate study beyond the master's degree. The official title of the
degree is "Electrical Engineer".
The following material outlines the procedures for admission to the Elec-
trical Engineer degree program and the steps necessary to qualify for the
degree. For further information applicants should write to Professor Robert
A. Gonsalves, Department of Electrical Engineering, Room 329, Dana Hall,
Northeastern University.
Admission
Students who are interested in pursuing the Electrical Engineer degree
should make application for admission to the program prior to April 1. A
master's degree in electrical engineering or its equivalent and the approval
of the departmental graduate committee is required for admission. In some
cases, where the master's degree is not in electrical engineering, a student
may be admitted to the program with the stipulation that certain deficien-
cies be made up without credit toward the degree.
The Engineer Degree is available on either a full-time or part-time basis.
Classification and Degree Candidacy
A student admitted to the Engineer degree program will be designated as
a candidate for this degree.
Residence Requirement
A plan for satisfying the residence requirement must be approved by the
student's adviser.
Qualification and Examinations
A student must maintain a B average in order to qualify for the degree. In
some instances, a student may be required to take special examinations.
Such examinations will be determined in each case by the departmental
graduate committee.
Course Requirements
The minimum course requirements will be 40 quarter hours beyond the
master's degree, with no more than 10 quarter hours of credit out of the 40
ELECTRICAL ENGINEERING / 79
allowed for work on the project report. A minimum of 20 quarter hours must
be taken in electrical engineering. The student's course program must be
approved by his adviser.
Project Report
Each engineer degree student must complete a project report which
demonstrates a high level of competence in research, development, or
design in the field of electrical engineering. As a general guideline, the
amount of effort normally expected will be the equivalent of about 10
quarter hours of graduate work.
Language Requirement
No foreign language is required for the Electrical Engineer degree.
Final Oral Examination
A final oral examination consisting of a defense of the dissertation may
be required if the student's adviser and the departmental graduate com-
mittee so decide.
Transfer of Credits
Approval for transfer of credit may be given by the departmental
graduate committee upon request from the student.
Time Limitation
After admission to the program, a maximum of five years will be allowed
for completion of the degree requirements. Extension of this time limit may
be granted with the approval of the departmental graduate committee.
Registration
All students must register for course work or dissertation as approved by
their advisers or the departmental registration officer. After the first
registration for this work, registration must be continuous unless withdrawal
is allowed by the departmental committee in charge of the degree program.
chemical engineering
Admission
To be enrolled for graduate work in Chemical Engineering, applicants
usually have obtained a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemical Engineer-
ing, with an acceptable quality of undergraduate work from a recognized
college or university. However, qualified students with other B.S. or B.A.
degrees in science or engineering may be admitted. Such students are re-
quired to complete supplementary undergraduate work in addition to the
usual M.S. program in order to qualify for the M.S. degree in Chemical
Engineering. Complete programs for these students are worked out after
the student has made formal application to the program through the
Graduate School of Engineering. The undergraduate work required is
strongly dependent on the mathematics, chemistry, and engineering
background of the applicant. The undergraduate course work in such
programs may not be used for degree credit.
THE MASTER'S DEGREE
Full-Time Program on The Cooperative Plan
Forty quarter hours of academic work are required. This program may be
taken on the Cooperative Plan where students enroll for academic work in
the Fall and Spring Quarters of the first year and in the Winter Quarter of
the second year. The other three quarters of the two academic years and
the summer after the first year are available for professional employment.
Students who are admitted to a master's degree program under the
Cooperative Plan must complete, through satisfactory performance, each
cooperative work assignment in order to be eligible for their degree.
The sequence of courses on the Cooperative Plan will normally be taken
according to the following pattern:
First Academic Quarter* Credits
4.802 Chemical Engineering Mathematics 4
4.829 Chemical Process Control 4
4.891 Kinetics of Chemical Processes 4
4.991 Thesis ._2

Students may take the program on a continuous full-time basis to complete
the degree requirements in one academic year. The sequence of courses
which students take on this plan is established by the chairman of the
department.
All Ph.D. candidates are required to do an M.S. thesis. All M.S. students
not doing a thesis are required to take 4.833 Research Techniques I. In ad-
dition, D. Eng. candidates are required to take 4.834 Research Techniques
II if they are not doing a thesis. If a student is planning to take Research
Techniques I, he or she must notify the department at least one full quarter
before the quarter in which it is to be taken. This normally means that a stu-
dent should notify the Chemical Engineering Department before the end of
the Fall semester as to when he or she intends to take 4.833.
M.S. Thesis normally carries twelve quarter hours of academic credit.
Research Techniques I carries four quarter hours of credit. The remaining
eight quarter hours of credit required to complete the degree requirements
82 / CHEMICAL ENGINEERING
may be taken from any courses which have been approved, in advance, by
the departmental graduate registration officer.
With the approval of the chairman of the department, substitutions may
be made for some of the prescribed courses by other courses in the depart-
ment or in other departments which give graduate work.
PART-TIME PROGRAM
The admission requirements for this program are the same as for the full-
time program, but students may progress according to their ability to com-
bine their study with their employment. Students must take sufficient day
and evening chemical engineering courses so that the required courses in
their major total at least 30 of the 40 quarter hours required for the degree.
The remaining 10 credits may be elected from any approved courses in
engineering or science for which the student has the necessary prepara-
tion. Required courses and electives for all degree candidates must be ap-
proved by the chemical engineering departmental adviser. A maximum of
seven years is allowed to complete the program.
Students wishing to switch their status from part-time to full-time M.S.
candidates must notify the Chemical Engineering and make formal applica-
tion with the Graduate School of Engineering. Such requests are usually
granted for the full-time program to begin in the Fall Quarter.

industrial engineering
and
engineering management
The Department of Industrial Engineering offers the following degrees:
Master of Science in Industrial Engineering and Master of Science in
Engineering Management and Industrial Engineer degree. Degrees can be
pursued on a part- or full-time basis and full-time students may elect to par-
ticipate in the Cooperative Plan. Under the Cooperative Plan a student
spends 9-12 months working in a field which is complementary to his
academic program and professional goals. During this time he receives
compensation from his employer, which is generally in line with salaries for
engineers with equivalent experience.
The Master of Science in Industrial Engineering has a General Program
as well as majors in Health Systems, Computer and Information Systems,
and Operations Research; all of which require a thesis. The Master of
Science in Engineering Management has a General Program and majors in
Computer and Information Systems and Operations Research. A thesis is
not a requirement for this degree. A minimum of 40 quarter hours of
graduate level credit is required for either degree program. The Industrial
Engineer degree requires 40 quarter hours beyond the M.S. degree.
Specific requirements are listed on page 94.
Industrial Intern Program Leading to the MSIE
The Engineering Sponsorship program in Industrial Engineering is
known as the Industrial Intern Program. The program, available to a
selected group of students, is an enriched MSIE cooperative program in
which the student, the University, and a cooperating employer tailor each
program to individual interests. Usually the minimum academic re-
quirements of the MSIE program will be substantially surpassed in the in-
dustrial intern option.
Through agreements with cooperating employers, students accepted for
the industrial intern option will receive full tuition and living expenses for
seven or eight quarters. Four of these will be spent in professionally rele-
vant employment. During each of these cooperative quarters, students will
take independent study under the direction of a faculty member. Wherever
87
88 / INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING — MANAGEMENT
possible, those specialized reading courses will lead toward a thesis
problem statement of interest to the student, cooperative employer and the
department. When this goal is achieved, the MSIE program will be com-
pleted in seven quarters. A goal of the industrial intern option is that each
student's thesis be a significant independent investigation.
Admission to M.S. Programs
To be enrolled for graduate study in Industrial Engineering or Engineer-
ing Management, the applicant must have obtained a Bachelor of Science
degree in an engineering field, with an acceptable quality of undergraduate
work from a recognized college or university. A limited number of
applicants with a Bachelor of Science degree in mathematics or a closely
related science, whose preparation is considered adequate, may be per-
mitted to pursue either program, and, upon its completion, qualify for the
degree of Master of Science without specification.
Entrance to either program presupposes that students have had a basic
course in each of the following areas: engineering economy, probability,
engineering statistics, operations research (deterministic and stochastic),
computer programming (compiler language), and accounting. Recognizing
that some applicants may be deficient in certain of these subjects, the
program offers the intensive courses listed below. At the time of admission
to the program the adviser will specify, on the basis of the applicant's
transcript, those courses on the list which the applicant must complete
satisfactorily to qualify for the degree. Such specified courses are to be
completed as early in the program as scheduling will permit. The courses
below carry graduate credit but a maximum of six quarter hours of credit
from this group may be used as elective credit toward the degree.

COMPUTER AND INFORMATION SYSTEMS MAJOR
The Computer and Information Systems (C & IS) Major is designed to
meet the needs of three distinct but related professional areas — computer
systems, information systems, and management.
A unique two track curriculum offers sets of courses in computer
systems and information systems, each track tailored for particular
specialties but integrated with material from the other track for general
management. The computer system track focuses on basic concepts and
their implementation in hardware and software systems. The information
systems track focuses on supporting the management decision process —
evalution, analysis, and design of management information and decision
systems.
The number of courses required from each track depends upon the
students professional objectives. Unique programs can be designed in con-
sultation with the adviser. All C & IS majors will be expected to take the ten
or sixteen quarter hours of courses listed below as general requirements. In
addition they are required to take at least sixteen quarter hours from
category (e), computer information systems. It is suggested that students
within this major follow one of the two course tracks listed below as a por-
tion of the sixteen quarter hour requirement. Exception to these regulations
must be approved in a consultation with an adviser.

94 / INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING — MANAGEMENT
THE INDUSTRIAL ENGINEER DEGREE
Description
This degree is designed for those who wish to undertake graduate study
beyond the master's degree which is less extensive and more applied than
that required for the doctorate. The program leading to the Industrial
Engineer degree permits a candidate to pursue a course of study at the up-
per graduate level which will develop in-depth knowledge in selected In-
dustrial Engineering techniques, and the ability to apply these techniques to
complex problems in a real world setting. The offering of this degree is pen-
ding approval of the Graduate Council.
Admission
Applicants to the Industrial Engineer Degree program must be enrolled
for graduate study in Industrial Engineering or Engineering Management.
To be accepted for candidacy for the degree, applicants must possess the
master's degree in Industrial Engineering or equivalent from a recognized
institution. Further, an applicant for candidacy must have the potential
capability to structure and solve complex real-world problems. Evidence of
this capability may be in the form of a thesis completed as a requirement
for the Master of Science Degree, or in such other form which is acceptable
to the Industrial Engineering Department Graduate Committee.
Credit Requirements
A minimum of 40 quarter hours beyond the master's degree is required.
Normally 10 quarter hours of credit out of the 40 will be granted for work on
the Industrial Engineering Degree project. A minimum of 20 quarter hours
must betaken in Industrial Engineering.
Industrial Engineer Degree Project
In addition to the required course work, to be awarded the degree of In-
dustrial Engineer, the candidate must complete a project demonstrating a
high level of competence in structuring and solving a complex real-world
problem. The problem to be addressed in this project is of an applied
nature. Where applicable an on-going organization will be used as the set-
ting. The work should lead to a solution which satisfies all technological and
organizational constraints, and is therefore capable of being implemented.
The topic will be selected by the student and his project committee.
Qualifications and Examinations
A student must maintain a "B" average to qualify for the degree. A final
oral examination for defense of the written report of the Industrial Engineer
Degree project conducted by the student's committee is also a requirement
for the degree.
INDUSTRIAL ENGINEERING — MANAGEMENT / 95
Residence Requirement
Since the Industrial Engineer Degree project requires the structuring and
solving of a complex problem, residence requirements will be satisfied by
that arrangement which allows the student to devote a sufficient portion of
his time to the project to permit an intensive problem-solving experience.

ning. The individual's program of study will aid the individual to acquire the
necessary technical skills and social science background required for a
transportation planner. Courses from the Colleges of Engineering, Liberal
Arts and Business Administration may be included in the student's program
of study. In addition to the in-class training, a student will undertake an in-
dependent study project that results in a Master's Thesis or Master's
Report. A student will work closely with an advisor on some related
problem. Arrangements have been made with local government agencies to
involve the students with particular real world problems.
Full-Time Program
The program is arranged in a manner to allow a student to complete the
program in one calendar year. Normally, a student will enroll in course work
for three academic quarters beginning in September. The student will be
eligible for graduation the following September if all course and thesis or
report work is complete.
Part-Time Program
The Part-Time Program is the same as the Full-time Program. The part-
time student has a maximum of seven years to complete all degree re-
quirements.
Program of Study
Each student enrolled in the program is required to prepare a program of
study which consists of required courses and electives in transportation

the university
Founded in 1898, Northeastern University is incorporated as a privately
endowed nonsectarian institution of higher learning under the General
Laws of Massachusetts. The State Legislature by special enactment has
given the University general degree-granting powers. The University is
governed by a Board of Trustees elected by and from the Northeastern
University Corporation, which is composed of nearly 180 distinguished
business and professional men and women.
From its beginning, Northeastern University has had as its dominant pur-
pose the discovery of community educational needs and the meeting of
these in distinctive and serviceable ways. The University has not duplicated
the programs of other institutions, but has sought to pioneer new areas of
educational service.
A distinctive feature of Northeastern University is its Cooperative Plan,
initiated by the College of Engineering in 1909 and subsequently adopted
by the Colleges of Business Administration (1922), Liberal Arts (1935),
Education (1953), Pharmacy (1962), Nursing (1964); Boston-Bouve College
(1964); the College of Criminal Justice (1967); and by Lincoln College's
daytime Bachelor of Engineering Technology program (1971). This
educational method enables students to gain valuable practical experience
as an integral part of their college program and also provides the means by
which they may contribute substantially to the financing of their education.
The Plan has been extended to the graduate level in engineering, actuarial
science, rehabilitation administration, professional accounting, business
administration, and law.
In the field of adult education, programs of study have been developed to
meet a variety of needs. University College offers evening courses —
offered by the University since 1906 — and adult-day courses leading to the
bachelor's degree. In addition to offering day undergraduate programs in
Electrical Engineering Technology and Mechanical Engineering Techno-
logy, Lincoln College offers evening/part-time certificate, associate, and
bachelor degree programs in technological areas. All formal courses of
study leading to degrees through part-time programs are approved by the
Basic College faculties concerned.
GRADUATE AND PROFESSIONAL SCHOOLS
The 10 graduate and professional schools of the University offer day and
evening programs leading to the degrees listed.
The Graduate School of Actuarial Science offers the degree of Master of
Science in Actuarial Science.

CENTER FOR CONTINUING EDUCATION
The Center for Continuing Education was established in 1960 to relate
the University to the needs of its community in a period of accelerated
change. Aduit education programs offered by the Center and University
College have since been consolidated. Its programs are composed of
seminars, conferences, institutes, forums, and a wide variety of special
courses designed to serve specific needs. The Division of Special
Programs, working cooperatively with trade associations and professional
societies, offers a wide variety of programs dealing with current needs and
problems. Through its Division of Community Services, working with
governmental agencies and community organizations, the Center is becom-
ing increasingly involved in social problems on both the local and national
level.
Many of these programs are conducted at Henderson House, North-
eastern University's conference center in Weston, Massachusetts.
RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
The facilities of the University are engaged in a wide variety of basic
research projects in business, science, social science, pharmacy, and
engineering. These are coordinated by the Dean of Research, whose ser-
vices are University-wide and available to the faculties of all the Colleges.
Although Northeastern is primarily concerned with undergraduate and
graduate instruction, the University believes that the most effective teaching
and learning take place in an environment characterized by research ac-
tivities directed toward extending the frontiers of knowledge.

the graduate school of
pharmacy and allied
health professions
The New England College of Pharmacy merged with Northeastern Uni-
versity in 1962 to become the College of Pharmacy of Northeastern Univer-
sity. The Graduate School of Pharmaceutical Sciences was established in
1964 and offered on a full-time basis Master of Science degree programs in
Hospital Pharmacy, Industrial Pharmacy, Medicinal Chemistry, and Phar-
macology. All of these programs involved one year of planned cooperative
work experience. In 1970 a doctoral program leading to the Ph.D. in
Medicinal Chemistry was instituted.
The necessity for making these Master of Science degree programs
more relevant to the greater Boston community led to the establishment of
part-time evening programs. In 1971 the Division of Allied Health Sciences
joined with the College of Pharmacy to establish the new College of Phar-
macy and Allied Health Professions. In 1972 two new part-time Master of
Science degree programs were inaugurated, one in Medicinal Laboratory
Science and the second in Clinical Chemistry, the latter being cosponsored
by the Chemistry Department in the Graduate School of Arts and Sciences.
In 1974 a Master of Science degree program in Radiopharmaceutical
Science was established.
Currently the College offers the following graduate programs:
Master of Science
Clinical Chemistry
Hospital Pharmacy
Medical Laboratory Science
Medicinal Chemistry
Pharmacology
Radiopharmaceutical Science
Doctor of Philosophy
Medicinal Chemistry
Interdisciplinary Doctor of Philosophy
Clinical Chemistry
Forensic Chemistry
Pharmacology

GENERAL REGULATIONS
The general regulations that follow are minimal requirements shared by
the several degree programs. The student is advised to consult the ap-
propriate program for a statement of specific requirements.
Application
Applicants should address their inquiries to the Director of the Graduate
School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions. Application forms and
other pertinent information will then be mailed to them. Submission of the
completed forms, together with all official transcripts and two letters of
recommendation, is essential before potential students can be considered
for admission to a specific degree program. Applicants whose native
language is not English must take the Test of English as a Foreign
Language and submit the results to the Director of the Graduate School of
Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions. All necessary supporting
documents must be on file at least four weeks before the date of registra-
tion for the quarter in which the student expects to begin his scholastic
program. Consideration of applications received after this date may be
delayed.
Applicants to the doctoral program who desire assistantships should
apply no later than March 15. It may not be possible to give equal con-
sideration to applications received after this date. Candidates for financial
awards should so indicate in their letter of application. These awards are
restricted to full-time doctoral students. Such applicants are strongly urged
to take both the aptitude and advanced portions of the Graduate Record
Examination.
Admission
To be enrolled for graduate work, an applicant must submit a complete
official transcript indicating the award of a baccalaureate degree from a
recognized institution. He must also provide evidence of his ability to pur-
sue creditably a program of graduate study in his chosen field. His
scholastic record must therefore show academic distinction, and his un-
dergraduate program must show breadth as well as adequate preparation
in his field of anticipated specialization. Acceptance to the school is granted
upon recommendation of the Graduate Committee of Pharmacy and Allied
Health Professions after a review of the completed application.
Foreign students who do not receive a graduate award or whose award is
insufficient to cover all educational and living expenses must certify that
they are able to meet all such expenses while at Northeastern. A visa may
not be granted without such certification. Foreign students should note that
many of the master's degree programs are part time and, therefore,
students are not eligible for I-20 visas.
PHARMACY AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS / 23
Student Classifications
Regular Students — Those students accepted to a specific degree
program.
Special Students — Students who have been accepted in the graduate
school, but who are not formally matriculated in a degree program.
Students in this category who wish to be admitted to a degree program
must petition the Graduate Committee requesting a change in status. This
request is to be made after the completion of 12 quarter hours of graduate
credit. No more than 16 quarter hours may be transferred from the Special
Student category to a degree program. In those instances where additional
courses have been taken, only the first 16 quarter hours of credit will be
accepted. Special Students are expected to obtain a B average. All courses
within this 16 quarter hour limitation will be transferred if the student is ad-
mitted to a degree program; included will be C, F, and I grades. It is the
student's responsiblity to request a change of status in writing.
Doctoral Students — Students admitted to a doctoral program.
Doctoral Degree Candidates — Doctoral students who have completed
40 quarter hours of acceptable graduate work and who have passed the
qualifying examination.
Registration
Students must register within the dates and times listed on the school
calendar. The place of registration is announced prior to each period.
Residence
All course work for advanced degrees must be registered for and com-
pleted at Northeastern University unless the Graduate Committee has
granted approval of work taken elsewhere.
Programs of Study
The study load for full-time students is 8 quarter hours of course work or
a combination of fewer credits together with an independent research proj-
ect. Students involved in such a project will work closely with their advisors
to determine their individual course load assignments. Part-time students
decide upon their course load after consulting with the director of their
specific program. Courses in most fields are generally offered in the late
afternoon and evening. Exceptions to this are posted with the quarterly list
of course offerings.
Grading System
Performance of students in graduate courses is graded as follows:
A Excellent
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
has been of very high graduate caliber.
24 / PHARMACY AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS
B Satisfactory
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
has been at a satisfactory level.
C Fair
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
is not at the level expected in graduate work.
F Failure
This grade is given to those students whose performance in the course
is unsatisfactory.
In addition, the following letter designations are used:
I Incomplete without quality designation.
This grade may be given to those students who fail to complete the
work of the course.
L Audit without credit.
S Satisfactory without quality designation.
U Unsatisfactory without quality designation.
An S or U grade is used for the first quarter of a two-quarter sequence
in which the grade for the second quarter applies to both the first- and
second-quarter sequence.
The I grade will be changed to a letter grade when the deficiency which
led to it is made up to the satisfaction of, and in the manner prescribed by,
the course instructor, or, in his absence, by the chairman of the department
issuing the grade. The period for clearing such a grade is restricted to one
calendar year from the date of its first recording on the student's permanent
record.
Students must indicate their preference for auditing a course at registra-
tion. No credit is given for the course; however, it will appear on the
student's transcript. Registration changes from an audit to a graded status,
or vice versa, must be made prior to the second week of classes. The tuition
fee for an audit course is the same as that for a graded course.
Class Hours and Credits
All courses are entered as quarter-hour credits. A quarter hour of credit
is equivalent to three fourths of a semester-hour credit.
Continuity of Program
Students are expected to maintain continuous progress toward a degree.
Any student who does not attend Northeastern for a period of one year
must apply for readmission.
Withdrawals
In order to withdraw from a course, a student must complete an official
withdrawal form obtained at the Registrar's Office or at the Suburban Cam-
pus Office. Withdrawals may be made through the first six weeks of the
course or upon the receipt of a mid-term examination, whichever is later.
PHARMACY AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS / 25
Students are withdrawn on the date at which the official form is filed with the
Registrar. Ceasing to attend class or notifying the instructor does not con-
stitute official withdrawal.
Changes In Requirements
The continuing development of the Graduate School forces frequent revi-
sion of curricula. In every new bulletin some improvements are indicated.
When no hardship is imposed on the student because of changes, and
when the facilities of the school permit, the student is expected to meet the
requirements of the current bulletin. Any deviation from this must be re-
quested by petition to the Graduate Committee.
Application for the Diploma
A commencement card must be filed with the Registrar's Office on or
before the applicable date listed in the calendar. For students failing to file,
there is no assurance that the degree will be granted in that particular year,
even though all other requirements have been fulfilled.
THE MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE
Admission
Specific requirements for each degree program are found in the ap-
propriate paragraphs for each program, beginning on page 36.
Academic Requirements
A candidate for the master of science degree must complete a minimum
of 40-43 quarter hours of correlated work of graduate caliber and such
other study as may be required by the specific program.
During the first half of the total course work hours required for the
degree, the candidate is expected to maintain a minimum quality-point
average of 2.5. At completion of three fourths of the total course work hours
required for the degree, the candidate is expected to have a quality-point
average of 2.8. To qualify for the degree, he must obtain a final average of
3.0, equivalent to a grade of B. This average is calculated quarterly by the
graduate school on the basis of A = 4, B = 3, C = 2, and F = 0, and ex-
cludes any transfer credits from outside the University.
Not more than four quarter hours (generally two courses) of repeated
courses, additional courses, or permanent Is may be allowed in order to
satisfy the degree requirements.
Within the above limitations, a required course for which a grade of F is
received must be repeated with a grade of C or better, and may be
repeated only once. If a grade of F is received in an elective course, that
course may be repeated only once to obtain a grade of C or better, or
another elective course may be substituted for it. If a grade of C is received
in a required course, that course may be repeated once to obtain a grade of
B or better.
26 / PHARMACY AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS
Obtaining a Second Master's Degree
Students who have completed an M.S. degree in the Graduate School of
Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions and wish to obtain a second
master's degree, should petition to do so. Students will be required to com-
plete ail the requirements listed for the second program, taking a minimum
of 16 additional quarter hours of graduate credit.
Transfer Credit
A maximum of 12 quarter hours of credit obtained at another institution
may be accepted toward the master's degree, provided that the credits
transferred consist of A or B grades in graduate-level courses, are in the
candidate's field, have been earned at a recognized institution, and have
not been applied toward any other degree. Students should petition the
Graduate Committee in writing for all transfer credit. Transfer credit grades
may not be used in order to obtain the academic average necessary for
completion of degree requirements.
Students changing majors within the College or University will receive
transfer credit on a graded basis for ALL required courses taken in the
desired new major. In addition a maximum of 12 quarter hours of credit for
courses in the elective categories completed with the grades of A or B may
be transferred. Transfer credit for elective courses may not be used in
order to obtain the academic average necessary for completion of degree
requirements.
Time Limitation
Course credits earned in the program ofgraduate study, or accepted by
transfer, are valid for a maximum of seven years unless an extension is
granted by the Committee of the Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied
Health Professions.
THE DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE
The doctor of philosophy degree is awarded to candidates who give
evidence of high attainment and research ability in their major field. The
degree requirements are administered by the Graduate Committee. It is the
responsibility of the Director of the Doctoral Program to certify to the
Graduate Committee the completion of all requirements for each candidate.
Admission
The degree program in the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and
Pharmacology has an established admission procedure for students start-
ing doctoral work at Northeastern University. The Ph.D. in Medicinal
Chemistry provides specialization in the fields of Clinical Chemistry, Foren-
sic Science, Pharmacology, Radiopharmaceutical Science, and Synthetic
Medicinal Chemistry.
PHARMACY AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS / 27
Residence Requirements
Candidates for the doctor of philosophy degree must spend the
equivalent of at least one academic year in residence at the University as
full-time graduate students. The Graduate Committee specifies the method
of satisfying the residence requirement.
Doctoral Entrance Examination
Upon acceptance into the doctoral program, the student must take an
entrance examination. The purpose of this examination is twofold: to test
his undergraduate knowledge and skills considered essential to success in
the field of specialization, and to aid both the student and a selected faculty
adviser in course selection to overcome existing deficiencies in academic
background. Within one year of admission to the doctoral program, the stu-
dent is allowed two opportunities to pass the examination.
At its discretion, the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Phar-
macology may drop a student from the doctoral program if the results of
the doctoral entrance examination reveal deficiencies too great to be
removed within one year.
Qualifying Examination
A qualifying examination is prepared by members of the department and
given twice each academic year. It is expected that a student will take this
examination within two years from the date of the doctoral entrance ex-
amination. The purpose of the qualifying examination is to test the student's
knowledge and skills in medicinal chemistry and especially his knowledge
of recent developments in this field.
This examination is composed of two parts:
1. A written examination in areas of specialization in the department to be
determined by the department.
2. An oral examination, given approximately two weeks after completion of
part 1. The oral examination committee consists of the dissertation ad-
viser (selection discussed below), two other members of the Department
of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology, and one member of the
University from outside the Department selected by the Department
Chairman. The student must pass the written portion before taking the
oral examination at the scheduled time. Students failing the written part
of the qualifying examination are given one opportunity to remove this
failure by a make-up examination. Similarly, students have one ad-
ditional opportunity to pass the oral examination. Students must make
up any failure at the first opportunity. Those failing either portion of this
examination twice are dropped from the program. A student who passes
the qualifying examination and completes 40 quarter hours of graduate
work with a 3.0 average is designated a Doctoral Degree Candidate.
28 / PHARMACY AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS
Course Requirements
The minimum course requirement of 40 quarter hours of credit con-
stitutes the work normally required for the master's degree. The course
requirements beyond this total for the Ph.D. degree will depend upon the
needs and interests of the individual.
Transfer Credit
If transfer credit for doctoral work is desired, approval of such credit
must be given by the Director of the Ph.D. program. A maximum of 12
quarter hours of graduate credit obtained at a recognized institution are
accepted, provided that the credits transferred are in the candidate's field,
consist of work taken at a graduate level for graduate credit, and carry
grades of A or B. Students should petition the Director of the Graduate
School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions in writing for all transfer
credit.
Dissertation
Each doctoral student must complete a dissertation which embodies the
results of extended research and which makes an original contribution to
the field. This work should give evidence of the candidate's ability to con-
duct independent investigation and to interpret the results of his research in
an acceptable manner.
Selection of a thesis adviser must be made within four months of the
student's completion of the entrance examinations. An adviser is selected
by mutual consent of the student and a member of the faculty in the Depart-
ment of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology. It is expected that the stu-
dent will begin his research and demonstrate satisfactory proficiency in the
laboratory prior to the qualifying examination.
The thesis adviser serves as Chairman of the Thesis Committee, which
consists of not less than three members. Individuals are chosen for exper-
tise in the student's area of research. His research progress is evaluated by
this Committee, meeting no less than twice a year. Low productivity or un-
satisfactory work provides the basis for warning by this Committee. Two
such warnings result in a student's dismissal from the program at any
stage.
Foreign Language
A reading knowledge of one foreign language (French, German, or Rus-
sian) is required. The Thesis Committee prescribes the manner in which
proficiency in the language is determined.
Research Proposal Defense
After completion of the qualifying examination, and prior to the final oral,
the student, with the approval of the Thesis Committee, prepares a written
PHARMACY AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS / 29
proposal in an area distinctly different from his thesis. He then defends it
orally before this Committee.
Final Oral Examination
The final oral examination is taken after the completion of all other re-
quirements for the degree. This examination must be held at least three
weeks before the commencement at which the degree is to be awarded.
The Thesis Committee conducts the final oral examination. The Director
of the Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied Health Professions,
together with the Department Chairman and the thesis adviser, appoint any
additional members to this Committee which they consider necessary.
The final oral examination deals with the subject matter of the doctoral
dissertation, significant developments in the field of the dissertation, and
the student's background knowledge in his field of specialization.
Time Limitation
After the establishment of degree candidacy, a maximum of five years is
allowed for completion of the degree requirements.
Registration
All students must register in the Registrar's Office for course work or dis-
sertation as approved by the faculty adviser. Students must be registered
for the dissertation during the quarter in which they take the final oral ex-
amination.
Curriculum Design
The graduate school recognizes the divergent backgrounds and goals for
individuals who may be accepted into this program. Accordingly, the
program is designed to offer flexibility in course selection so as to maximize
its relevance to the student's career objective.
INTERDISCIPLINARY PROGRAMS
Some graduate students may wish to pursue doctoral programs which
involve substantial work in two or more departments. To meet this need, an
interdisciplinary program may be established which corresponds in scope
and depth to doctoral standards, but which does not agree exactly with the
individual departmental regulations. For such possibilities, the following op-
tion is available.
i Admission
Application for admission to interdisciplinary doctoral study consists of
the submission of a carefully thought-out, written proposal describing the
areas of projected study and research. The proposal may be a part of the
30 / PHARMACY AND ALLIED HEALTH PROFESSIONS
initial application for admission to graduate study at Northeastern Universi-
ty, or it may be submitted by a student already enrolled. It may be directed
to a doctoral degree-granting department or to the Director of the Graduate
School, who will then forward it to the appropriate department. In either
case, admission to interdisciplinary doctoral study requires favorable
recommendation by the sponsoring doctoral degree-granting department
and approval by the Graduate Committee of the Graduate School of Phar-
macy and Allied Health Professions.
Formation of Interdisciplinary Committee
A student who has been accepted for interdisciplinary study must obtain
the consent of an adviser who will direct his doctoral dissertation. This ad-
viser, who may or may not be a member of the sponsoring department,
serves as Chairman of the Interdisciplinary Committee for this student. A
second member is appointed from the sponsoring department by its chair-
man. These two members obtain one or more additional members or re-
quest the Director of the Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied Health
Professions to do so. At least two departments must be represented on the
committee, and a majority of the committee members must come from doc-
toral degree-granting departments. The chairman of the sponsoring
department notifies the Director of the Graduate School of the committee
membership as soon as possible.
Duties of Interdisciplinary Committee
A member of the Interdisciplinary Committee who is also a member of
the sponsoring department serves as the registration officer to approve the
student's course registration. A copy of the approved course registration
must also be filed with the other committee members and with the Graduate
Committee.
The Interdisciplinary Committee is responsible for the administration of
the qualifying examination, language examination, approval of the disserta-
tion, and comprehensive examination. This Committee must also certify to
the sponsoring department the completion of the requirements for the doc-
toral degree.
The Interdisciplinary Committee must be assured that the student's
program represents standards comparable to those of the sponsoring
department and that the program is not so broad that it has inadequate
depth in any area. The Director of the Graduate School may review the
program at any time to determine whether its objectives are being met.

PART-TIME MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAM
IN CLINICAL CHEMISTRY
Objectives
At the present time, there is an acute shortage of trained people in
clinical chemistry. This is especially critical in view of the increasing need
for individuals with in-depth training in the chemical and biological sciences
to direct clinical laboratory personnel.
Northeastern offers a part-time, evening Master of Science degree
program in Clinical Chemistry under the joint sponsorship of the Depart-
ment of Chemistry and the Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied Health
Professions. The program is available to people currently practicing clinical
chemistry or those with appropriate backgrounds who wish to train for this
field.
The development of this program came about through careful delibera-
tion by members of the Departments of Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry
and Pharmacology, and Medical Laboratory Sciences. Thus, it is a truly in-
terdisciplinary offering, representing a composite of the skills and
knowledge of each of these disciplines. It is one of a series of graduate
programs designed to meet the frequently expressed needs of clinical
pathologists.
Admission and Program Features
The Admissions Committee for this program is composed of three faculty
members: two from the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Phar-
macology and a third from Medical Laboratory Sciences. The Committee
evaluates the background of the applicants, suggests course sequences,
and informs the students of those offerings which will maximize their
background in clinical chemistry.
For admission to this part-time M.S. degree program, the applicant must
have completed a baccalaureate program in biology, chemistry, medical
technology, pharmacy or a related field. Undergraduate requirements are:
a minimum of two quarters of organic chemistry, two quarters of analytical
chemistry, each with a laboratory or its equivalent, two quarters of human
36
FIELDS OF STUDY/ 37
physiology, and two quarters of physical chemistry. An individual who has
deficiencies in any of these areas may take appropriate courses at
Northeastern University concurrently with those graduate courses which do
not require the deficient prerequisites. The appropriate evening courses
offered at University College of Northeastern University are: Analytical
Chemistry, 12.521 - 12.526; Organic Chemistry, 12.531 - 12.533; Physical
Chemistry, 12.541 - 12.543; and Human Anatomy and Physiology, 18.524 -
18.526. Equivalent courses are accepted from this University or other ac-
credited universities. Students admitted with deficiencies must remove
them during the first 12 quarter hours of graduate work. By the completion
of the degree requirements, students must have at least one year of accept-
able clinical laboratory experience subsequent to attaining the appropriate
baccalaureate degree.
Students in good standing in the program who lack this experience re-
quirement may apply for an applied (training) course in clinical chemistry.
This course is offered through the Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied
Health Professions of Northeastern University at one of the nearby affiliated
hospitals and provides three months of this experience requirement. In-
dividuals who have completed this course achieve an enhanced opportunity
to obtain subsequent employment in this field and thereby satisfy the one
year of experience requirement.
The program is available on a part-time basis, with courses offered
primarily during the evening hours. Courses are scheduled in the fall,
winter, spring, and summer quarters. It is anticipated that students may
complete the degree requirements in a minimum of three years; however,
the duration may sometimes be increased or decreased to satisfy the par-
ticular needs and requirements of the student. No research report or thesis
is required.

PART-TIME MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAM
IN HOSPITAL PHARMACY
Objectives
Institutional pharmacy will constitute a major form of professional prac-
tice within the next decade. The pharmacist practicing in this environment
must show proficiency in both the administrative and therapeutic spheres.
The administrative need is essential, since the director of a hospital phar-
macy must have managerial competence in order to direct personnel,
determine budgets, interact with hospital administration and other
departments, and establish guidelines and objectives for the pharmacy. It is
his responsibility to determine the goals and the means for integrating the
pharmacy into a high-quality health delivery system.
Additionally, he must be completely knowledgeable of the most modern
therapeutic maneuvers, especially as they relate to the preparation and use
of drugs. This is the pharmacist's area of expertise. The physician, nurse,
and other medical personnel depend upon the modern pharmacist to
counsel them in drug usage and selection, contraindication of drugs with
specific disease conditions, and problems encountered with drug interac-
tions. His guidance is essential and can only be based upon a comprehen-
sive knowledge of therapeutics.
The function of this program is to prepare the modern pharmacist for
such a career in institutional practice.
Admission and Program Features
The Director of the M.S. program in Hospital Pharmacy serves as Chair-
man of the Admissions Committee. The function of this Committee is to
evaluate the background of the applicants and advise the Graduate Com-
mittee of their suitability for admission to the program. Additionally, the
Director guides the graduate students in course selection and apprises
them of those offerings which maximize their individual educational goals.
Admission as a matriculated graduate student is limited to those who
possess a B.S. degree in Pharmacy (or an equivalent degree in Pharmacy)
from an accredited college of pharmacy. The candidate must have
demonstrated an ability to pursue graduate studies as evidenced by un-
dergraduate transcripts and/or other evidence of scholarship.
The program is available on a part-time basis, with courses offered
primarily during the evening hours. Courses are scheduled in the fall,
winter, and spring quarters. It is anticipated that students may complete the
degree requirements in a minimum of three years; however, the duration
may in some cases be increased or decreased to satisfy the particular
needs and requirements of the student. No research report or thesis is re-
quired.
42 /FIELDS OF STUDY
Curriculum
The program contains a core curriculum of 12 quarter-hour credits of
required courses and 12 quarter-hour credits to be selected from an elec-
tive core consisting of six hours of administrative courses and six hours of
therapeutic courses. The total of the required and elective core com-
ponents is 24 quarter hours of credit. In addition, 16 hours are to be
selected from those graduate courses offered by divisions in the University.

PART-TIME MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAM
IN MEDICAL LABORATORY SCIENCE
Objectives
This program provides opportunity for medical laboratory scientists to
acquire increased expertise in laboratory science and in clinical laboratory
research and development.
The graduate of this program will contribute significantly to the modern
medical laboratory. He should be able to search the literature to find and
test available methodologies, and to develop, modify, and evaluate new
methods. He should be a qualified associate in the clinical pathology
department. The graduate courses in administration and education prepare
the student for administrative or teaching responsibilities required in
medical laboratory supervisory or educative positions.
Admission and Program Features
To be enrolled for graduate work, the applicant must hold a bac-
calaureate degree from a recognized institution and provide evidence that
he is able to pursue a program of graduate study as determined by the
Graduate Committee. His scholastic record must show distinction, with
adequate preparation in the sciences, including one year of organic
chemistry, college physics, and mathematics; one complete course of
analytical chemistry; and a minimum of 24 quarter hours or the equivalent
of biological sciences including basic microbiology, human physiology,
genetics, and cell biology. Requirements in human physiology, genetics,
and cell biology may be completed at the graduate level. Students admitted
with deficiencies must remove them during the first 20 quarter hours of
graduate work.
Acceptance to the school is upon recommendation of the Medical
Laboratory Science Graduate Committee and approval by the Graduate
Committee of the Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied Health
Professions. It is anticipated that students may complete the degree re-
quirements in a minimum of three years. However, in some cases this may
be increased or decreased to satisfy a student's particular needs and re-
quirements.
Professional Requirement
At the completion of the Master of Science degree, the student must have
written, or be eligible to write, the examination in medical technology or in
one of the categorical or specialist certifications of the Board of Registry of
the American Society of Clinical Pathologists. Students intending to com-
plete their professional requirements in an approved hospital school of
medical technology must also make direct application to the hospital
program. Acceptance to the graduate program in medical laboratory
science does not imply concomitant acceptance to a hospital program.
46 /FIELDS OF STUDY
Curriculum
The program contains a core curriculum of 27 quarter-hour credits of
required courses and eight quarter-hour credits selected from an elective
core. In addition, eight hours are to be selected from those graduate
courses offered by the Graduate School of Pharmacy and Allied Health
Professions or by other divisions in the University. These latter courses are
to be selected with the guidance of the Director of the M.S. program in
Medical Laboratory Science. A total of 43 quarter hours of academic work
are required for this program.
In addition to the required course 87.990 Research Report I, each student
working toward the degree of Master of Science in Medical Laboratory
Science may elect to take either 87.991 Research Report II (2-4 quarter
hours of credit) or 87.992 MLS Thesis (6 quarter hours of credit). After initial
election of either 87.991 or 87.992, students must register for the selected
course each quarter until work is completed. Grades for 87.990, 87.991 and
87.992 are recorded as Satisfactory or Unsatisfactory. Two unsatisfactory
grades result in the student's dismissal from the thesis portion of the
program.
The research report may take the form of a comprehensive, critical
review of the literature in a specialized area and/or a specific program of
experimental work on a single topic. If experimental work has been elected
for Research Report II, it may be expanded later, with the permission of the
student's research advisor, into a master's thesis with a topic, advisor and
committee composed of not less than three members. Research Report II
will culminate in a comprehensive, well-written report which must be
reviewed by three faculty members. MLS Thesis will culminate in a final oral
examination.
A comprehensive examination is required of all students, except those
presenting a thesis. This exam will be offered once yearly on a pass/fail
basis. Students failing the examination are given one opportunity to remove
this failure.

PART-TIME MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAM
IN MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
Objectives
The primary goal of this program is the education of professionals in-
terested in the following areas: the rational development, isolation, and
analysis of drugs; the understanding of the chemical mechanisms by which
these compounds function in mammalian systems; and the metabolism of
such biologically active agents. For this purpose the program is composed
of four distinct areas of study: medicinal chemistry, pharmacology and tox-
icology, biochemistry, and organic chemistry. This type of background
gives preparation to an individual interested in using chemistry for
biological and clinical purposes. The medical research team needs scien-
tists with this training and orientation.
Admission and Program Features
Application for admission to this program is welcomed from any in-
dividual who has obtained a baccalaureate degree in pharmacy, chemistry,
biology, and related programs within the biological or physical sciences
from a recognized institution. Further, his undergraduate record must in-
dicate a high level of previous work and sufficient background in organic
chemistry, mathematics, and biology. Applicants with deficiencies in these
areas may be admitted as Special Students. Students admitted with
deficiencies must remove them during the first 12 quarter hours of graduate
work.
The program is available on a part-time basis, with courses offered
primarily during the evening hours. Courses are scheduled in the fall,
winter, spring, and summer quarters. It is anticipated that students may
complete the degree requirement in a minimum of three years; however, in
some cases the duration may be increased or decreased to satisfy the par-
ticular needs and requirements of the student. No research report or thesis
is required.
The Graduate School recognizes the divergent backgrounds and goals of
individuals who may be accepted into this program. Accordingly, the
program is designed to offer flexibility in course selection so as to maximize
its relevance to the student's career objective.
General Requirements
A candidate must complete a minimum of 40 quarter hours of graduate
work. A total of 24 required credits must be taken: 10 quarter hours of
medicinal chemistry courses, six quarter hours of pharmacology and tox-
icology, four quarter hours of biochemistry and related areas, and four
quarter hours of organic chemistry. The balance of 40 hours may be taken
from an elective list.
An individual who has deficiencies in any of the areas required for admis-
sion may take appropriate courses at Northeastern University concurrently
with those graduate courses which do not require the deficient prereq-

PART-TIME MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAM
IN PHARMACOLOGY
Objectives
The pharmacologist is concerned with the discovery, testing, and perfec-
ting of drugs and the study of how they act, especially in mammalian
systems. With the increasing concern of pharmaceutical companies,
hospitals, and research institutions for knowledge of the mechanisms by
which drugs produce their effects, the role of the pharmacologically trained
scientist is ever expanding. In the education of such an individual, a broad
background in pharmacology, physiology, anatomy, instrumentation, and
chemistry is essential. The goal of Northeastern's program is to meet this
objective and to prepare individuals to make significant contributions in the
many areas requiring pharmacological expertise.

PART-TIME MASTER OF SCIENCE DEGREE PROGRAM
IN RADIOPHARMACEUTICAL SCIENCE
Objectives
During the last decade many new experimental tools and methods have
been placed in the hands of professionals and practitioners in the allied
health professions. These have been used to probe more widely and more
deeply into the nature of man's clinical problems. Of all the new techniques,
none has been employed in more diverse means nor yielded greater
rewards than the use of radioactive isotopes for both diagnostic and
therapeutic procedures.
There is a critical need for individuals with background and training in the
area of radiopharmaceuticals and radiochemicals. They will be employed in
the pharmaceutics industry, in hospitals, and in various clinical and
chemical laboratories. The function of this program is to supply the in-
depth knowledge necessary for the education of such professionals.
Admission and Program Features
Applicants for this program must have completed a baccalaureate
program in pharmacy, biology, chemistry, medical technology, physics or a
related field. Undergraduate requirements are: a minimum of two quarters
of organic chemistry, one quarter of analytical chemistry or its equivalent,
two quarters of human physiology, and one quarter of physics. An in-
dividual who has deficiencies in any of these areas may take appropriate
courses at Northeastern University or at any other recognized institution
concurrently with those graduate courses which do not require the deficient
prerequisites. Students admitted with deficiencies must remove them dur-
ing the first 12 quarter hours of graduate work.
The program is available on a part-time basis, with courses offered
primarily during the evening hours. Courses are scheduled in the fall,
winter, spring, and summer quarters. It is anticipated that students may
complete the degree requirements in a minimum of three years; however, in
some cases the duration may be increased or decreased to satisfy the par-
ticular needs and requirements of the student. No research or thesis is re-
quired but a research elective is available.
The Graduate Committee recognizes the divergent backgrounds and
goals of individuals who may be accepted into this program. Accordingly,
the program is designed to offer flexibility in course selection so as to max-
imize its relevance to the student's career objectives. Each student is
assigned a faculty advisor who assists him in course selection and apprises
him of those offerings which will strengthen his background in the areas of
his interest. In essence, this advisor functions in tailor making the program
for the student's individual needs.

FULL-TIME DOCTOR OF PHILOSOPHY DEGREE PROGRAM
IN MEDICINAL CHEMISTRY
Objectives
The purpose of this program is to educate the research scientist in-
terested in applying chemistry to the solution of biological and medical
problems. Such research may take the form of synthesizing new drugs —
both radioactive and nonradioactive — for diagnosis and a variety of dis-
ease conditions, determining metabolic products derived from compounds
of an endogenous or exogenous origin, elucidating various biochemical
pathways, developing and utilizing analytical methodologies for drugs and
various biochemical compounds, and isolating drugs from natural sources.
These are a few of the types of research projects which are available within
the Department of Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology.
In addition to the student's demonstration of superior proficiency in
original research, he must acquire the background knowledge via courses
and outside reading in the current scientific literature in his area of
specialization to complete the qualifying examination satisfactorily. For this
purpose, a working knowledge of at least one foreign language is required.
Any student who wishes to pursue the doctorate must write directly to the
Director of the Ph.D. program.

Admission and Program Features
Application for admission is welcomed from any individual who has ob-
tained a baccalaureate degree in pharmacy, chemistry, biology, medical
laboratory science, and related programs within the biological or physical
sciences from a recognized accredited institution. Further, the un-
dergraduate record must indicate a very high level of previous work and
sufficient background in organic chemistry, mathematics, and biology.
Deficiencies in these areas must be removed within the first academic year.
Admission to this program is by acceptance of the Graduate Committee. A
student is considered to be in the doctoral program after being accepted,
but not before taking up full-time residence.
Course Requirements
There are no specific course requirements beyond those which may be
required for a master's degree, but in order for a student to be completely
prepared for both the research program and the qualifying examination, an
appropriate course background is desirable.
INTERDISCIPLINARY PH.D. PROGRAM IN FORENSIC CHEMISTRY
This program is being offered in conjunction with the Colleges of
Criminal Justice and Northeastern University's Institute of Chemical
Analysis, Applications and Forensic Science. This unique program in an
area of societal need is designed as a preparation for research and
leadership positions in forensic laboratories. The Graduate School of Phar-
macy and Allied Health Professions is the registering department for
specialization in forensic toxicology. Two other specializations, namely
forensic analytical chemistry and forensic materials science are ad-
ministered by the Chemistry Department in conjunction with the College of
Criminal Justice. Admission is made through the registering department.
For students entering with a B.S., completion of the M.S. course re-
quirements in Forensic Chemistry with a B average is required to qualify for
further Ph.D. study. For students with M.S. degrees in forensic science or
the natural sciences, individual programs are planned according to the
student's background. The course of study includes comprehensive ex-
aminations, thesis research to be carried out at the Institute of Chemical

Purpose
The purpose of the Northeastern University School of Law is
to train lawyers to meet the challenges and obligations cast upon the
legal profession by contemporary society. The School was founded on
the conviction that traditional legal education inadequately attains
this goal and that a law school program must match the pace of
change in the world and national scene.
The most frequently remarked shortcoming of traditional law
school training is the neglect of the practical side of a lawyer's work.
The consequence is that newly graduated students are poorly
equipped to pursue their profession until they have served a period of
apprenticeship. In this respect, they suffer in comparison with their
contemporaries who enter other professions.
The School of Law has adopted the Cooperative Plan of
Education to ensure that each student acquires a significant amount
of legal experience before receiving a law degree. The Cooperative
Plan has been used extensively in other fields of learning, and its
adaptation to legal education adds realism and excitement to what
has been an excessively academic preparation for the bar.
The curriculum of the School is designed to provide a solid and
relevant legal training for service throughout the country in large and
small private law firms, corporations, public legal agencies, and
government agencies. The law as it is, and as it should be, is the
concern of all lawyers wherever they may serve.
The cooperative educational program enriches classroom
study by exposing students to reality. Of all the professional
disciplines, none demands a strong sense of reality more urgently
than does law. Using the actual practice of law as its laboratory, the
School adds depth to the curriculum by balancing academic instruc-
tion with current experience in the varied aspects of lawyers' worlds.
Thus, the understanding of legal theory is enhanced by the under-
standing of the law in action.
History
Northeastern University began a long tradition of legal educa-
tion in 1898, and for nearly 60 years the School of Law produced
lawyers who achieved distinction at the bar and on the bench.
Originally, emphasis was placed on evening education to
provide educational opportunities for persons who would not other-
wise have a chance to develop their talents. By 1953, shifting social
and economic patterns made the evening school a doubtful vehicle
for entry into a profession whose practice required the mastery of a
rapidly expanding body of knowledge and skills. Lacking an alterna-
tive plan consistent with the purposes of the University, the Trustees
closed the School in 1953.
In the mid-sixties, loyal graduates of the School of Law urged
the University to re-establish the School. The President and Trustees
of the University undertook a careful and extensive examination of
the nature of legal education in the United States, and the result was
the decision to revive the School of Law as the nation's only coopera-
tive law school.
The re-established School of Law was opened to students in
September 1968. Faculty strength, library holdings, and research
facilities were carefully developed to support the new concept of
cooperative legal education. After inspection by the American Bar
Association, the School was accredited in 1969 and was admitted to
membership in The Association of American Law Schools in 1970.
Cooperative Legal Education
Cooperative legal education provides alternating intervals of
full-time professional work experience and full-time academic edu-
cation. A legal education which combines academic study and practi-
cal experience is the best possible preparation for a legal career. Law
students spend the first academic year in full-time study. After
successful completion of the first year, the class is divided in half and
the remaining two years are spent in alternating three-month quar-
ters of full-time academic work and full-time employment as paid
law clerks. Successful completion of seven academic quarters and
four work quarters is required for the degree of Juris Doctor.
The Cooperative Plan has an especial importance to students
who want to practice law. It has been traditional in the legal profes-
sion to view the relative helplessness of newly admitted attorneys
with a mixture of humor and despair. The graduates of Northeastern
School of Law are in a different position. They have 12 months of
practical experience before graduation. Cooperative work quarters
will not produce a finished lawyer, but the combination of academic
and work quarters provides a substantial advance in merging aca-
demic learning with skills and abilities.
One of the important collateral benefits of the Cooperative
Plan, especially appreciated by students, is the opportunity to explore
four different employment situations and four geographic areas of the
country before making a final career commitment. Law firms, gov-
ernment agencies, corporate legal offices, legal service and public
interest organizations, and defender/prosecution programs are major
employers. Students have worked in 38 states and four foreign coun-
tries during their cooperative quarters. "Co-op" opportunities are
nation-wide. The Boston area cannot support all cooperative stu-
dents,- therefore, a Northeastern applicant must be prepared to
explore opportunities in other parts of the country. In recent years,
approximately one-half of the cooperative jobs have been outside the
Boston metropolitan area. Applicants must consider long-term
commitments (leases, family arrangements, etc.) with the coopera-
tive program in mind. Mobility and flexibility make the cooperative
experience rewarding and exciting.
In obtaining cooperative employment, students enter into a
professional relationship in which the hiring decisions are made by
agreement between the student and employer. The School strives to
be certain that students are fairly compensated according to the
students' experience and the employers' resources. However, appli-
cants should clearly understand that the cooperative program is
educational and not a form of financial aid. Some very interesting and
important jobs provide little, if any, compensation. While the School
does provide an open, fair, and supportive system of information
about jobs, it cannot guarantee a position for every student. Indeed,
no such undertaking is either possible or appropriate with respect to
professional employment. The School does not deal with employers
that discriminate on the basis of race, sex, age, religion or ethnic
origin.
The Cooperative Plan undergoes constant evaluation. Em-
ployers evaluate a student's performance, the student evaluates the
cooperative job, and the faculty and staff regularly re-appraise the
educational value of each cooperative position.
Facilities
The School of Law is located in the Ethel and Reuben
Gryzmish Hall, opened in 1 9 70 and named in honor of a distinguished
alumnus and his wife. The building houses tiered classrooms for
basic instruction, seminar rooms, a lounge, faculty offices, and a
spacious and realistic courtroom.
The Law School building is located on Northeastern Univer-
sity's main campus. The full array of University facilities are nearby,
including the main library, student center, bookstore, theater,
gymnasium, and swimming pool.
Library
The Berkowitz Law Library is an integral part of the School of
Law and is located on the second level of Gryzmish Hall. The Library
is air conditioned, with a spacious reading room decorated in
contemporary style. In the stacks there are carrels and conference/
typing rooms available for individual student use.
The rapidly growing Law Library has a carefully selected
collection of more than 85,000 volumes. It includes all the official
reports of every state court of last resort, the National Reporter
System, annotated and topical reports, selected materials of adminis-
trative bodies, numerous loose-leaf reporter services, a complete
collection of the current state and Federal annotated codes, and a
strong collection of English and Canadian decisions and legislation.
There is also a comprehensive collection of current legal journals and
reviews, as well as treatises and textbooks.
Of special interest is the Sara R. Ehrmann Collection on
Capital Punishment. Named in honor of its donor, a pioneer in the
movement to abolish capital punishment, this collection of books,
articles, legislation, and news items presents a full picture of the
operation of the death penalty in this country from 1920 to the
present.
The private library of Professor Quincy Wright, the noted
scholar, forms the nucleus of an impressive international law
collection.
Law students also have access to the Northeastern University
libraries and, by special arrangements through the office of the Law
Librarian, to various law school and research libraries in the met-
ropolitan Boston area.
General Information
The School of Law and the University are located near Boston's
Fenway and Back Bay section, a center of education and culture.
Students at the University have readily available a range and quality
of music, art, and lectures unexcelled in America. Within easy
walking distance of the School of Law are the Boston Museum of Fine
Arts, Symphony Hall, Simmons College, the Isabella Stewart Gard-
ner Museum, Emmanuel College, Horticultural Hall, the New
England Conservatory of Music, and the Prudential Center.
In Boston, a law student can observe the Supreme Judicial
Court of Massachusetts, the United States Court of Appeals for the
First Circuit, the Federal District Court, the Massachusetts Appeals
Court, the Massachusetts Superior Court, and a full range of lower
tribunals. The metropolitan Boston area presents an array of munici-
pal and county agencies, and the state legislative process can be
studied in action at the Massachusetts State House on Beacon Hill.
Housing
Because the School of Law is located in an area heavily
populated with students from several educational institutions, there
is a shortage of available housing. However, the University Housing
Office lists available private rental accommodations for students.
(University dormitories are restricted to undergraduates.)
Requests for housing information or accommodations should
be made in writing to the Director of University Housing, Northeast-
em University, 360 Huntington Avenue, Boston, Massachusetts
02115. The Housing Office is located at 122 St. Stephen Street.
University Health Service
The University Health Service is located in the Forsyth
Building, near the School of Law. Regular clinic hours for students are
maintained by the University Physician and his staff.
All full-time students are covered by a Blue Cross-Blue Shield
policy from the day of registration until 12:00 noon on the day
following withdrawal, leave of absence, dismissal, or graduation from
the University. Each student receives a brochure describing the
policy.
Prior to initial registration in the University, each student
must file with the Health Service physical examination and chest
x-ray records. Forms for the examination are available at the Health
Service Office, and are mailed in advance to prospective students who
indicate their intention to register in September. The University
Health Service cannot provide medical services for students who do
not comply with this requirement.
Student Participation
The School of Law encourages student participation in the
development of the program of instruction. An educational experi-
ence can be enriched beyond the value of its substantive content by
having the student reflect upon the educational process. Students,
individually and collectively, are invited to join with the faculty in
the continuing evaluation of the educational process.
Black American Law Students Association
Northeastern has a chapter of the Black American Law Stu-
dents Association. Through BALSA, Black and Puerto Rican students
work closely with the School of Law in an effort to recruit minority
students.
BALSA's commitment to incoming minority students con-
tinues throughout the year. Activities include a fall orientation
program and an educational assistance program designed to supple-
ment course material.
BALSA has published a brochure designed to inform potential
applicants about some of the opportunities available at Northeastern
University and the School of Law.
For further information contact BALSA at the School of Law.
National Lawyers' Guild
The Northeastern Chapter of the National Lawyers' Guild is
an active student organization. Activities include participation in
first-year orientation, job retreats, political projects of local, regional
and national scope, and periodic chapter business meetings.
Placement Office
The placement office operates under the supervision of the
Assistant Dean and assists both students and graduates in securing
professional employment. In the last three years, 80% of the
graduates have secured employment by the time they were admitted
to the bar. The average starting salary of these classes was $13,500. A
substantial number of graduates secure permanent positions through
the cooperative experience. An average of 10 percent of each graduat-
ing class has accepted judicial clerkships, including one student who
was the first woman clerk for the Chief Justice of the United States.
The placement staff gathers information, helps arrange interviews,
and maintains job listings. The School of Law is committed to
helping its students secure and maintain fulfilling professional
careers.

Admission
A candidate for admission to the School of Law must hold a
bachelor's degree from an accredited college or university. Ac-
ceptance is based upon superior academic achievement in under-
graduate studies and acceptable scores on the Law School Admissions
Test, administered by the Educational Testing Service of Princeton,
New Jersey. The test is administered periodically at convenient
centers throughout the country. Applications for the LSAT and for
admission to the School will be sent upon request.
The School of Law is committed to the highest academic
standards. No candidate will be accepted whose credentials promise
anything less than superior performance. The School undertakes to
seek cooperative work opportunities at a professional level in private,
public, and corporate offices, and to fill these positions with students
who can perform productive legal services as early as the end of the
first year of law school. Thus, the School seeks students of superior
ability, strong motivation and maturity.
The Northeastern School of Law solicits the interest of
prospective law students whose qualifications make them eligible for
admission to highly selective law schools. The distinctive program of
the School appeals to persons who are interested in a program of
professional instruction heavily reinforced by experience in legal
practice. The goal of the School is to produce lawyers who can excel in
the traditional skills of the law and who can give learned, professional
responses to the problems, both traditional and novel, which are
making increasing demands upon the legal system.
No specific fields of undergraduate study are demanded as a
pre-law background. Of particular importance are the mastery of oral
and written verbal skills, a capacity for independent research, and the
ability to exercise critical judgment. A basic knowledge of accounting
and business is useful in some parts of the law curriculum. Under-
graduates are best advised to pursue a wide range of interests.
In gauging one's chances of being admitted to the School of
Law, the following information on admissions policy and practice
may be helpful. The median LSAT score of all classes has been well in
excess of 600. Students with high scores but inferior college grades are
rarely accepted. In recent years, both the application pool and enter-
ing class have been almost equally male and female. No specific
grade-point average is required, but accepted applicants are generally
in the top quarter of their classes. Great weight is placed upon
intellectual ability and the nonacademic qualities of the candidate,
indicated by such factors as extracurricular interests and activities,
skill in written expression, work experience, and career goals.
The School of Law requires that all applicants register with the
Law School Data Assembly Service for the submitting of their
complete academic records and the reporting of the LSAT scores.
Applicants who have outstanding records of nonacademic
achievement should not be deterred because their college grades and
LSAT scores are not distinguished. The student body of the School of
Law includes many men and women who have had very successful
careers between college and law school. The School seeks students
who are capable of superior achievement and considers the full range
of an applicant's aptitude, background, and accomplishments.
Applications for entrance in September 1977 must be submit-
ted to the School of Law no later than February 15, 1977. Candidates
are advised that the filing deadline is subject to change in 1978.
The School of Law follows a "rolling admissions" policy. The
Admissions Committee reviews applications as the files are com-
pleted. If the certainty of acceptance is not clear, an applicant's name
is held on a waiting list if he or she so desires.
Students who receive notice of acceptance must pay a non-
refundable tuition deposit within the time period stated in the letter
of acceptance.
If an applicant decides not to attend the School of Law after
paying the final deposit, notice should be given to the Director of
Admissions so that the vacant space in the class may be filled by
someone on the waiting list.
Transfer
The School also considers applications from students who
have completed a year at another law school and wish to apply with
advanced standing. The number of seats available for transfer
students is limited. Requests for application with advanced standing
should be sent to the Director of Admissions, Northeastern Univer-
sity School of Law.

Financial Information
Tuition and Fees
Tuition for the academic year 1976-77 is $3,300 for the first
year and $2,700 for the upper-class years. An annual fee for
supplementary printed and duplicated materials is also charged to
each student. The University tries to keep tuition and fees as low as
possible, but it must reserve the right to revise tuition rates and fees
by action of the Board of Trustees at any time.
The tuition deposit required of students who are accepted for
admission is applied against the first quarter tuition bill. The deposit
is nonrefundable. Students who withdraw from the University during
an academic quarter receive a refund of a portion of the tuition.
During the first week of the quarter the entire tuition, less the
deposit, is refunded; thereafter, the refund is reduced 25 percent each
week. After the fourth week of the quarter, no refund is made.
Books assigned by the faculty in the various courses are
available through the University Bookstore. It is estimated that the
annual book expense for the first-year student will be approximately
$200. In some instances, used books may be obtained at a substantial
saving.
Financial Aid
Northeastern University has a limited amount of financial aid
available to assist students whose resources would otherwise make it
impossible to attend the School of Law. The larger portion of these
funds is awarded to the first-year students, with lesser amounts going
to second- and third-year students. A few positions as research
assistants to members of the faculty are available to second- and
third-year students on the basis of ability and financial need.
The University awards all financial aid on the basis of financial
need. It is a participant in the Graduate and Professional School
Financial Aid Service. All applicants for aid must file a GAPSFAS
form. The GAPSFAS application may be obtained from the financial
aid officer at the institution in which the student is currently enrolled
or from the Office of Financial Aid at Northeastern University. The
GAPSFAS form may also be obtained from the Graduate and
Professional Financial Aid Service, Box 2614, Princeton, New Jersey
08540.
Grants and Scholarships
Northeastern University provides a limited number of grants
and scholarships to students who demonstrate a financial need. Part
of these funds come from the following named scholarships.
The Thomas E. Cargill, Jr., Scholarship
The Thomas E. Cargill, Jr., Scholarship, established in 1972 by
Thomas E. Cargill, Jr., is awarded to a student in the School of Law.
Mr. Cargill is a graduate of the School of Law, Class of 1948, and is a
Director of The National Council of Northeastern University.
Preference will be given to students based upon demonstrable
financial need.
The Eli Jacobson Memorial Scholarship
This fund was established in 1975 in memory of Mr. Eli
Jacobson by his many friends and relatives. Mr. Jacobson was an
alumnus of the School of Law, Class of 1933. He was a member of the
Northeastern University Corporation and Board of Trustees. During
his lifetime, Mr. Jacobson gave his support to many philanthropic
organizations including Northeastern University and it is most
fitting that the spirit of his generosity will continue through this
scholarship fund.
Income from this scholarship fund will be awarded annually to
students in the School of Law who demonstrate financial need,
soundness of character, and academic ability.
The Northeastern University School of Law Alumni Association Scholarship
To commemorate the founding of the School of Law in 1898,
the School of Law Alumni Association established this award in
1974. This scholarship is to be awarded annually to a second-year law
student who demonstrates superior potential and financial need.
The Irving Perlmutter Scholarship
The Irving Perlmutter Scholarship, established in 1972 by
Irving Perlmutter, a graduate of the School of Law, Class of 1938, is
awarded annually to a student or students in the School of Law.
Preference is given to students who demonstrate financial need.
John T. Powell Memorial Scholarship
The John T. Powell Memorial Scholarship was established in
1974 by the law firm of Hale and Dorr, in memory of Mr. Powell, a
partner in that firm and a graduate of the School of Law, Class of 1928 .
The income from this scholarship fund is awarded annually to one or
more deserving students enrolled in the School of Law who demon-
strate financial need, academic ability, and soundness of character.
The Ralph B. Rogers Scholarship
This scholarship has been established through the generosity
of Ralph B. Rogers, a graduate of the School of Law, Class of 1939. The
scholarship is awarded either to entering students or to upper-class
students enrolled in the School of Law.
Loans
Guaranteed Insured Loan Programs
These loans are available through lending institutions in the
applicant's home area. Under this program a student may borrow as
much as $2,500 per academic year to a maximum indebtedness of
$10,000. Repayment of principal and interest need not begin until
nine months after the termination of studies.
Because of the easy availability of these funds relative to other
kinds of financial assistance, it is recommended that all aid appli-
cants first seek assistance from this source.
National Direct Student Loan
The amount of a loan is determined by the financial position of
the student and his family and by the availability of these funds at
Northeastern University. The total amount of indebtedness, how-
ever, may not exceed $10,000. Repayment of these loans begins nine
months after the termination of study.
College Work-Study Program
Not to be confused with Northeastern University's Coopera-
tive Education Program, this is basically a federally supported part-
time employment program. Jobs are available on the campus or in
nonprofit agencies in the greater Boston area. Determination of
eligibility for work-study employment and actual job placement are
accomplished through the Office of Financial Aid.
Other Assistance
There are some openings each year as residence director or
resident assistant in the undergraduate male dormitories. Inquiries
and details concerning availability of these jobs may be obtained from
the Associate Dean of Students for Housing, 203 Ell Student Center.
Occasionally, spouses of male law students are able to obtain
positions as full-time residence directors in the women's dormitories
at Northeastern University. These positions provide a salary plus
full-time maintenance, which includes a comfortable apartment and
meals. Inquiries may be made to the Associate Dean of Students,
Room 104, Ell Student Center.
Degree Program
Degree
Upon recommendation of the faculty, the degree of Juris
Doctor (J.D.) will be conferred on a student who successfully
completes seven quarters of law study and four quarters of coopera-
tive work. All first-year courses are required; Professional Responsi-
bility is the only required upper-level course.
Grading System
The Cooperative Plan of legal education diminishes the utility
of traditional grading. Academic courses are graded on a pass-fail
basis. The teacher of each course makes a written appraisal of each
student's performance in the course. Further, each cooperative
employer submits a written evaluation of the student's professional
performance. These academic and professional evaluations are made
part of the student's permanent record.
Prospective employers of Northeastern graduates rely on the
evaluations of a student's professional performance made by the
lawyers who closely supervised the student over the four quarters of
practical experience, as well as on the academic appraisal.
It should be clearly understood that the pass-fail grading
system does not eliminate the academic risk to which a law student is
exposed. The faculty reserves the right to dismiss any student whose
individual written work, classroom performance, examinations, and
employer evaluations indicate unsatisfactory progress toward profes-
sional competence.
Attendance and Conduct
Regular class attendance is expected. The right to take
examinations and to continue as a student in the School of Law is
conditioned upon regular attendance.
Students are subject to the rules of the University and the
School of Law, and their continuance at the School is conditioned on
the observance of these rules. Students participate in the process of
developing the policies of the School as prospective members of a
responsible and self-disciplining profession.
Academic rules are published in the Student Handbook.
Admission to the Bar
Many states require that a student who plans to apply for
admission to the bar file an official state registration prior to the
commencement of legal studies. The requirements of a particular
state can be obtained from the Board of Bar Examiners. Each student
should investigate the requirements of the state in which he or she
plans to practice.
Curriculum
First-Year Required Courses
(No cooperative work)
Civil Procedure/Torts
This is a course which attempts, in the first year, to begin
integrating issues of process and substance. Issues normally found in
a traditional civil procedure course are covered, such as pleadings,
jurisdiction, allocation between judge and jury, discovery, motions,
directed verdict, summary judgment, trial and res judicata. Inten-
tional torts, negligence and causation are explored in depth; other
torts are covered in an upper class course. Exercises which force the
application of tort principles into a procedural context are in-
terspersed with classes centered on case analysis.
Constitutional Law
Constitutional law focuses on the process with which the
Supreme Court resolves difficult constitutional questions. The
initial focus is on questions involving the nature and scope of judicial
review. Then, the source of governmental powers and matters of
Federalism are considered through an extensive study of the com-
merce clause. The second half of the course deals with various
methods where the Constitution protects the individual from gov-
ernmental overreaching. This section includes an inquiry into
procedural and substantive due process, equal protection, and the
First Amendment. Recent unedited Supreme Court decisions sup-
plement traditional casebook materials.
Contracts
The course considers the purpose and scope of the legal protec-
tion given to contracts. The legal principles of contract formation,
enforcement and remedies are examined, as well as the underlying
policies of private autonomy and social control through legislation
and judicial decision. Detailed consideration is given to the sales of
goods under Article 2 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The histori-
cal and economic aspects of the subject are also explored.
Criminal Law and Procedure
The course explores the basic principles of criminal law in a
procedural context. It begins with an overview of procedure: grand
jury and preliminary hearings, bail, right to counsel, professional
ethics, jury trial, other 5th and 6th Amendment rights, sentencing
and plea bargaining. The course then explores some of the major
themes of substantive law: act, capacity, intent, homicide, mental
illness, attempt, conspiracy, justification and excuse. It concludes
with the consideration of specific crimes: rape, kidnapping, burglary
and theft. The objective of the course is to develop a practical view of
the criminal process.
Federal Income Taxation
The purpose of this course is to teach first-year students to
interpret an elaborate and complicated statute. In addition to
exploring tax problems that confront individuals, businesses, and
other groups, the course examines the need for substantive tax reform
and the potential use of the tax mechanism to effect social change.
Legal Writing and Moot Court
The ability to draft legal documents, to express agreements in
clear and unequivocal language, to summarize research findings in
legal memoranda, to prepare persuasive briefs in support of a position,
and to develop other written instruments are essential parts of a
lawyer's skills. The legal writing emphasis continues into the moot
court program. Each first-year student must participate in the prepa-
ration of a brief and the presentation of an oral argument in an
appellate case.
Property
The course begins with an introduction to the law of personal
property. The focus then turns to various interests in land, with
heavy emphasis placed on landlord- tenant relationships. Mortgages,
real estate financing, and development of land resources are consid-
ered next. Both private restrictions on land use and community
planning techniques are studied.

not a fixed or guaranteed curriculum.
Upper-level Courses
Administrative Law
The ways in which lawyers can use the judicial process to
control official behavior which affects private interests. The course
considers both the procedures which government officials must
follow in reaching their decisions, and the methods and limitations
upon judicial review. The course is conducted entirely through
discussion of questions and problems which are distributed at the
beginning of the course.
American Legal History
An introduction to the history of American law, beginning
with an examination of the role of the common law in America and a
review of the difficulties with the reception of English law after
independence; turning to consideration of the problems of develop-
ment of a native American law in a federal system; and concluding
with a study of the 19th-century movement for codification.
Antitrust
The legal and institutional bases of present-day efforts at
governmental control of private economic power and the administra-
tive implementation of these controls. Specific attention is given to
monopolization, extensive concentration in industry, and combina-
tions to restrain trade through horizontal and vertical arrangements.
Business Planning
An examination of the basic legal materials and rules through
which business enterprises, particularly corporations, are organized,
funded, and operated. The purpose is to provide familiarity not only
with the legal materials, but also with the techniques used by lawyers
in applying them. Problems of structure, raising capital, compensa-
tion, capital changes, liabilities of promoters, directors and officers,
and the taxation of businesses and shareholders are considered. The
method is an analysis of a series of problems and the application of
legal materials to work out solutions. Prerequisites: Corporations
and Federal Income Taxation.
Civil Advocacy
The course revolves around one very complex real multi-party
factual situation. A litigation is simulated from client interview
through trial. The students divide into law firms representing each
party. Instructional techniques include the analysis of student
performances, with line-by-line critiques of written work and
classroom review of videotaped oral presentations. The course ends
with a lengthy jury trial.
The major purposes of the course are:
1. To give intensive, guided experience and training in all
elements of civil litigation, including interviewing, investigation,
pleading, written and oral discovery, motions, negotiations, pretrial
conference, legal writing (including different types of briefs), and the
trial itself.
2. To teach written and oral advocacy techniques and skills,
with emphasis on discerning and achieving goals, discovering and
using facts, clear expression, persuasion, and balanced judgment.
3. To teach the rules of evidence as a working discipline.
Civil Trial Practice
An introduction to the tactical and strategic problems com-
monly encountered in trial cases. While the class orientation is civil
litigation, the techniques and problems also are common to criminal
cases. Attention is also given to the forensic aspects of trial practice,-
students are taught the basics of direct and cross examination, and
the techniques and fundamentals of opening and closing summa-
tions. Class enrollment is limited; students are required to have had,
or be taking, Evidence.
Commercial Paper
A study of the law of negotiable instruments and bank deposits
and collections through an examination of Articles 3 and 4 of the
Uniform Commercial Code, relevant cases, problems, and general
issues of statutory construction.
Conflicts of Law
The student is introduced to difficult problems that arise when
some or all of the operative facts of action involve more than one
jurisdiction. The course emphasizes the modern choice of law
methodology and the expansion of a state's capacity to exercise
jurisdiction over non-resident defendants.
Constitutional Law and Minority Issues
The rapidly growing body of law attacking racial discrimina-
tion and the elimination of racist policies in education, employment,
public accommodations, and the administration of justice. The
historical background of these fields is reviewed, but focus is on
contemporary issues, including: the "de facto-de jure" school con-
troversy, the legal support for "community control" concepts, the
limits of affirmative action in employment litigation, and the
WA
conflict between the goals and activities of "black caucuses" and
collective bargaining agreements. Special attention is given to limits
on the right to protest all forms of discrimination imposed by the
courts. The alternatives to legally protected protest activities, includ-
ing civil disobedience, are also reviewed.
Consumer Protection Planning
The course analyzes and compares common law and regu-
latory approaches to protecting consumer interests. Special emphasis
is on planning, evaluating, and improving legal institutions which
affect consumers. Substantive areas of concern include deception and
overreaching, unsafe products, and governmentally sanctioned re-
straints upon competition. Procedural hurdles involved in obtaining
effective relief for consumer complaints are also examined.
Corporations
Use of modern business corporations, both public and closely
held; comparison with other forms of business associations; forma-
tion of the corporation; control and management of the corporation;
allocation of power among and action by directors, officers, and
shareholders; duties of directors and controlling shareholders; regu-
lation of the exercise of corporate powers by the fiduciary principle
and by Federal and state securities regulations; and the enforcement
of corporate duties and protection of shareholders' rights, through
derivative suits and other actions. In addition, the development of a
federal corporation law under the aegis of the SEC will be considered.
Criminal Advocacy
Techniques, strategies, and decisions involved in the prepara-
tion and trial of a criminal case, with constant emphasis on
translating theory into the mechanics of practice. The course
attempts to provide students with an analytical framework to
enhance self-learning on the basis of practical experience. Students
perform simulated exercises based on hypothetical facts such as
direct and cross examination, interviewing, argument, and other
advocacy skills. All exercises are videotaped and analyzed to formu-
late criteria for self-evaluation. Students are expected to devote
sufficient time to develop a working knowledge of evidence and
criminal procedure. Each student participates in the preparation and
trial of one actual case in a local criminal court. The final classroom
exercise is a mock trial. Class enrollment is limited.
Criminal Trial Practice
The course begins with lectures on criminal cases tried in both
state and federal courts, from arrest to appeal. One case is then used
throughout the course in which students are assigned roles including
defense attorney, prosecutor, judge, witness (both expert and lay),
juror, clerk, and defendant. All materials are based on actual cases.
The main emphasis is on federal criminal trials.
English Legal History
An examination of the development of important institutions
of the law from Anglo-Saxon times to the Tudor period. Students
trace the growth of the judiciary, the jury, legislation, and the legal
profession and its literature, together with important substantive
areas of the law, such as property, procedure, and tort. Source
materials are used throughout and supplemented by readings in the
standard literature of legal history.
Environmental Law
An examination of the legal institutions and doctrines rele-
vant to the control of the environment. The course deals with water
and air pollution and its control by private parties, municipalities,
states, and the Federal government, as well as problems of resource
allocation.
Equal Protection of the Law
A study of the case law interpreting the Equal Protection
clause of the 14th Amendment of the United States Constitution,
including: the difference between state and private action, the effect
of the equal protection clause on racial and sexual classifications,
voting rights, and public finance, and of statutes enacted to enforce
the Equal Protection clause. The emphasis throughout the course is
upon rigor in constitutional and statutory interpretation and upon
the proper role of the judiciary in political decisions.
Equitable Remedies
Equitable and extraordinary remedies, with particular em-
phasis on the contempt process and other problems relative to
enforcing specific decrees. The course also attempts to impart a sense
of the substantive intuition underlying equity jurisprudence.
Estate Planning
Taxation of gratuitous transfers of property at death and during
life, Federal estate and gift taxes, state death or succession taxes, and
the principles of estate planning.
Evidence
Exploration of the rules of evidence and their rationale,
including relevancy, hearsay, impeachment and cross-examination,
opinions and experts, documents and nonconstitutional privileges.
Several classes center on student use of the rules in simulated
problems.
Family Law
Primary focus is on the process of the dissolution of marriage.
In addition to studying the law of divorce, alimony, child support,
custody, and the tax aspects of divorce, the course focuses on certain
skills of the lawyer which are necessary to represent clients
adequately. This includes: client interviewing and advice, working
with mental health professionals, preparing and examining expert
witnesses, negotiating, and drafting complex agreements.
Federal Jurisdiction
A study of the role of the Federal courts in the operation of the
Federal system. The course focuses on the jurisdiction and function-
ing of the Federal courts, the distribution of authority between
Federal and state courts, and the roles of Federal and state law in the
Federal system. Topics include: the constitutional limits of Federal
judicial power,- appellate and collateral review in the Federal courts,
diversity, Federal question jurisdiction of the Federal courts; and
choice of law in Federal courts. This course requires a good working
knowledge of constitutional and administrative law.
Income Taxation of Trusts and Estates
This course is open only to those also studying trusts. The
subject matter is the income (not estate and gift) taxation of the
family, the proper taxation of married and single persons, and the use
of schemes (especially trusts) to deflect the taxation of income to
members of the family in low tax brackets.
International Law
The law of nations, including the nature and sources of
international law,- jurisdiction of states over persons and territory;
recognition of states and governments; governmental immunities;
the law of treaties; legal restrictions on the use of force; and principles
of state responsibility. International organizations, including the
United Nations, are also studied.
Involuntary Commitment of the "Mentally 111"
Taught jointly with Tufts New England Medical School
psychiatric residency program, this seminar (restricted to a total of 30
law students and doctors) examines the various processes, procedures
and standards by which people are involuntarily deprived of their
liberty on grounds of "mental illness." Half of the sessions will be
held at Boston Veterans Administration Hospital, at which issues
presented by individual patients will be considered in light of legal
principles.
Labor Unions
A study of relationships between individuals and labor organi-
zations; the rights, obligations and benefits of union membership;
and the governance and supervision of labor organizations by federal
law. Particular emphasis is placed upon the Labor-Management
Reporting and Disclosure Act of 1959.
Labor Relations Law
A general introduction to the law of labor relations through an
examination of the National Labor Relations Act and leading cases,
together with historical, social, and economic materials. Topics
covered include: organization, union recognition, unfair labor prac-
tices, collective bargaining, and arbitration.
Law, Language, and Ethics
In this seminar students analyze a series of related issues in
legal philosophy: the nature of moral and legal choices, the meaning
of responsible human action, the character types needed for various
roles in the legal system, and the effect of different conceptions of
human nature on the type of legal system that is considered
necessary.
Legal Accounting
An introduction to the processes for recording and measuring
financial data relating to the performance of an enterprise, with
particular attention to the exercise of judgment in resolving ques-
tions in the accounting field. The emphasis throughout the course is
on examining the use of accounting techniques in the legal contexts
in which a lawyer is likely to confront accounting issues, such as
preparation of an employee pension plan based on the "net profits" of
the company, or advising a corporation as to how large a dividend can
legally be paid to the stockholders. After an introduction to financial
statements and the essentials of bookkeeping, the course deals with
the principles governing recognition of expenses and income, and the
matching of related costs and revenues in measuring financial re-
sults. Thereafter, a more detailed study will be made of particular
topics of importance, such as inventory, depreciation, and long-term
indebtedness. Special attention will be given to the current concern
over the development of uniform accounting standards, illustrated by
current corporation reports and recent opinions of the official
rulemaking bodies of the accounting profession, with the primary
focus on the role of lawyers in dealing with these matters.
Legal Process
A critical study of the division of responsibility for the de-
velopment of legal doctrine among courts, legislatures, adminis-
trative agencies, and counsel for private parties, and the resulting
roles for lawyers in each of these institutions. Considerable attention
is given to evaluating techniques of statutory interpretation in light
of the relative positions and capabilities of courts and legislatures.
Other topics covered include: the respective roles of courts and
counsel in long-term private planning, e.g., percentage leases; the
roles of courts, administrative agencies, and legislatures in consumer
protection; and the roles of courts, legislatures, and private parties in
doctrinal innovation.
Prisoners' Rights
Development of an analytical framework for determining the
scope of political and civil rights retained by prisoners, with special
emphasis on remedies available to protect these rights. Among the
substantive and procedural areas which are discussed are the follow-
ing: safeguards against unjust administrative punishment; prison
censorship and abridgement of other First Amendment rights,-
protection against psychosurgery and other forms of behavior
modification; right to treatment and to job training; right to parole
and restitution of full citizenship after release; right to unionize and
bargain collectively regarding conditions of incarceration; media
access to prisons; and alternatives to the existing penal system in
light of relevant declarations of the United Nations and contempo-
rary theories of the nature and function of criminal law. The course
also touches upon the field of civil commitment.
Products Liability, Dignitary and Commercial Torts
An examination of the following topics of tort law: products
liability, no-fault alternatives to fault-based liability, dignitary torts
(defamation, privacy, intentional infliction of emotional harm),
"constitutional torts," and commercial torts.
Professional Responsibility
This is the only required, upper-level course in the School of
Law. It focuses specifically on the application of the Code of
Professional Responsibility which is crucially important for any
practicing attorney and particularly important to a law school which
operates under the cooperative plan. The Code of Professional Re-
sponsibility is supplemented by text materials and a series of prob-
lems.
Real Estate Transactions
The planning and execution of commercial transactions in real
property. Particular attention is given to conveyancing, with exam-
ination of the rights and obligations of the parties in various types of
transfers. Brokerage transactions, the recording acts, land registra-
tion, title insurance, mortgages and other financing and security
devices are also considered.
Secured Transactions
A study of the law of secured transactions through an examina-
tion of Article 9 of the Uniform Commercial Code. The principal
features of the Bankruptcy Act relating to security interests are also
considered, as well as cases, problems, and general issues of statutory
construction.
Securities Regulation
An in-depth study of the securities field and its regulation by
government agencies. Areas covered include: concept of the term
"security/' issuer concepts,- statutory and ordinary underwriter,- re-
stricted private offerings to raise capital under Rule 146; public
intrastate offerings under Rule 147; public resales under Rule 144
after a restricted private offering; public offerings under Regulation
A; economics of a public, versus a private, offering; fraud under 10b-5
and civil liability thereunder; SEC enforcement techniques; broker-
dealer fraud and manipulation. Students analyze a public offering
prospectus and prepare an appropriate risk factor section.
Taxation of Corporations and Shareholders
An introduction to Subchapter C of the Internal Revenue Code
— an exercise in reading a short and difficult statute. Among topics
covered are: the taxation of dividends, stock redemptions, liquida-
tions, distributions, and taxable and tax-free sales of corporate stock
and assets.
Trusts and Estates I
The devolution of property by gratuitous transfer, whether by
will, intestate succession, or gift. The course includes an elementary
treatment of the doctrine of estates and rules governing the creation
of present and future interests in real and personal property.
Trusts and Estates II
The central focus of this course is on the trust device as a
means of accomplishing the devolution and control of property
interests. It includes: the creation and enforcement of the trust
relationship, an examination of the fiduciary concept, and the
problems of trust administration.
Welfare Law
Examines American public assistance as a legal institution.
After reviewing the historical, sociological and juridical roots of our
welfare system, students examine the laws governing major assis-
tance programs, especially eligibility requirements, rules governing
grant determination, work and family rules, and procedural rights.
The course then explores methods by which lawyers can deal with
the system: advocacy in the administrative process, litigation,
legislative reform, and representation of recipient organizations.
Women's Rights
An overview of the applicable constitutional precedents and
the Equal Rights Amendment. The course concentrates on those
areas in which law can be used as an effective means of preventing
sex-based discrimination or mitigating its effects, followed by an
examination of current happenings in a series of specific areas, such
as employment, control of the body, and tax laws. Much of the
material should be useful in dealing with discrimination. Interested
students are encouraged to work on drafting legislation, preparing
material for actual or possible lawsuits, etc.
